Different font pixel metrics in different devices.

XavierLL

Hi!

When I execute this code in Windows

    QFont f = QFont("Verdana");
    f.setPixelSize(18);
    QFontMetrics fm(f);
    int pixelsWidth = fm.width("What's the width of this text?What's the width of this text?");
    int pixelsHeight = fm.height();
    qDebug() << "Width: " << pixelsWidth;
    qDebug() << "Height: " << pixelsHeight;

I Obtain:

Width: 528;
Height: 22;

When executed on Android:

Width: 458
Height: 21

If I load the font as a ".ttf"

fontId = QFontDatabase::addApplicationFont(":/fonts/verdana/verdana");

On windows I get:

Width: 528
Height: 22

On Android:

Width: 534
Height: 22

Is Qt using a different font rendering engine for different platforms? Is there any way to obtain the same pixel size for both devices?

thanks!!
