Qt Applications Font doesn't look right.

TylerJaacks

So I'm not a Qt expert so I thought I would give this a try. I have three Qt applications and I getting a weird font issue in two of them. All of these applications are open-source so changes could conceivably be made. I just don't know if this is issue with my computer i.e. my Windows install or configuration, a Qt issue (probably not likely), or an issue with the application.

Application 1 this application looks like the font is rendering correctly, or rather how I would expect it to.

Application 2 the font rendering looks incorrect, or rather not how I expect it to look.

Application 3 the font rendering looks incorrect, or rather not how I expect it to look.

With the following in a qt.conf file in Application 3 it looks a little better

[Paths]
Prefix = .

[Platforms]
WindowsArguments = fontengine=freetype

and looks like this

for Application 2 the qt.conf trick did not work so I tried this instead running the application with this -platform windows:fontengine=freetype

and it looks a little better I think

Here is what Application 2 is suppose to look like

and here is what Application 3 is suppose to look like

Hi and welcome to devnet,

Which version of Qt are you using ?
On which version of Windows ?

Occasionally I have seen tiny font on Windows with our own Qt application. This was always fixed by rebooting Windows.
