preview of hinting
Same here.

Please feel free to continue the work if anyone has interest. Git commit b96d56ae1727ab6de8b40aa787faef90cdd89fb6 by Fushan Wen. Committed on 20/06/2022 at 00:27. Pushed by fusionfuture into branch 'master'. kcms/fonts: Fix font hinting preview In `combineImages`, the width and the height were calculated incorrectly. This makes the preview image correctly obey the device pixel ratio of the primary screen, so the preview image can be clear and sharp.
