Example of what I see under Windows XP

Version:           2.0.2
OS:                MS Windows

Sometimes x-axis labels (particularly) get so close to each other that it's nice to rotate them (edit plot->X-Axis->Rotation->-10)

It works fine but looks ugly. I am pretty sure Qt has a nice option to turn anti-aliasing on, that would probably solve the problem.

Reproducible: Always




On Linux, there is another effect: the letters seem to not all be on the same baseline (as if there was some sort of vertical kerning). But the aliasing effect seems to be less visible.

I fear there may be platform dependencies at play here... 

Note: turning on OpenGL makes it blurred, but it is still aliased.

Nicolas: can you confirm this bug under windows with a modern kst/qt?

Can someone verify that this bug is still relevant with modern Qt under windows?

This was a qt bug, but is, as far as I know, now fixed.
