Fonts are not antialiased in QT 5.7 OpenSource on Windows 10.

Hello,
This is my firs post on the forum

I’m using QTextBrowser to to show formatted text. Unfortunately it’s not antialised and looks way too ragged.

I tried the following without any success

1. Set antialising globally

QFont f = QApplication::font();
f.setStyleStrategy(QFont::PreferAntialias);
QApplication::setFont(f);

2. Tried antialising on a label

QFont f = ui->labelTest->font();
f.setStyleStrategy(QFont::PreferAntialias);
ui->labelTest->setFont(f);

Label is not antialiased

3. Output text in QTextBrowser with

void QTextCursor::insertText(const QString &text, const QTextCharFormat&format)

using

format.setFontStyleStrategy(QFont::PreferAntialias);

I have Windows ClearType turned on.

Nothing helps. How to make Qt use antialiasing when it draws text? Thank you.

Sorry, my mistake. It does antialising. It does it just noticeably worse than Chrome or Adobe PDF reader.
