    when changing dpi scaling from 100% to 200% in Windows 10, i expect the following string to be twice as wide.

    QFont font = QFont("arial", 10);
    QFontMetrics fm(font);
    int width = fm.width("abcdefgABCDEFG");
    

    Strangely there is only 1 pixel difference.

    100% --> width = 108 pixels
    200% --> width = 109 pixels

    Why is that? Do I need to compute the scaled size of the text myself?
    I did enable automatic high DPI scaling in my QApplication.

    QGuiApplication::setAttribute(Qt::AA_EnableHighDpiScaling);
    QApplication* app = new QApplication(temp, NULL);
    

    Thanks
