The font in QML is not smooth, in windows

[DenisKormalev]

Volker, yes. Maybe wrong graphicssystem is chosen?

winxp and win7 is the same question

The bottom one looks smoother/nicer on my screen. That is Windows 7?

However, on closer inspection, the only issue with the top one appears to be JPEG artifacting.

[bellnas]

I was confused , sorry. the upper is in win7 and the following is in ubuntu

[xsacha]

Do you have Windows ClearType on?

Also, can you take your screenshots as PNG? There is crazy JPEG artifacting in the Windows image which makes it hard to compare.

I think it is all down to the operating systems rendering unfortunately. Qt doesn't mess with that.

I take shot from win7 and ubuntu at my laptop

It seems you are right. I've just tested your example and it is not smooth in the QML but smooth in the MS Word. Maybe you should file bugreport?

[xsacha]

It seems nothing to do with the Chinese characters either. The English ones in that screenshot have the same problem.

[bellnas]

No one has enconter the problem in windows?

[ixSci]

bellnas, maybe no one use such a big font in their projects. You've encountered the problem feel free to file a bug to trolls if you want this bug to be fixed.

I've created a "bugreport":http://bugreports.qt.nokia.com/browse/QTCOMPONENTS-319 . ;)

[CreMindES]

p.s. "The guys are quite fast":http://bugreports.qt.nokia.com/browse/QTCOMPONENTS (see the graph), but be patient because of the time now, I think we will soon have get some progress ;)

[DenisKormalev]

CreMindES, I think you chose wrong project :) Qt is more applicable for it.

[CreMindES]

It's a QML problem if I am right which is a part of the Qt Quick, but that will be our smallest problem I think...

[DenisKormalev]

CreMindES, yes, but Qt Quick != Qt Quick Components :) But i think trolls will handle it.

[CreMindES]

I think we misunderstand each other, or you wrote wrong, QML is part of Qt Quick...

But yes, trolls fix it, if it doesn't belong to that category, we will see ;)
