      Hi,

      Likely because the plugin implementing the GTK+ theme has changed between Qt4 and the latest Qt5.

          You have to give more explanation about what exactly is different.

          IIRC, Qt 4 is on GTK2 while Qt 5 currently backend is of GTK3. Therefore, what version of Qt are you running ? Can you compare the same application built against these two version of Qt ?

            Qt creator, install from official release file .run , GUI font render same as GTK+ application, but install from apt source, font is ugly!

              Then you should check what is happening with your distribution maintainers.
