Hi,

You should share the code you are using. If possible a complete example that would allow other people to test it.

The version of Qt as well as platform you are using would be useful.

It is not impossible that's it's a bug in the text rendering engine. I see that you have reported it and that's good :)

As a quick workaround you could add another Text element on top of the original one to hide the outline in the characters:

Text {
    text: qsTr("ابدا اللعب")
    font.pixelSize: 140
    color: "white"
    style: Text.Outline
    Text {
        text: parent.text
        font: parent.font
        color: parent.color
    }
}

qml arabic text outline workaround

@GrecKo said in Text Style style: Text.Outline in Arabic:

Text {
text: parent.text
font: parent.font
color: parent.color
}

Perfect! thats a great solution

Thanks again for helping
