SUMMARY
Kontact and all kdepim apps "look weird" and don't work right

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
Wish if I knew how to reproduce - my laptop has the same rpm packages installed and does not show the weird behaviours I'm seeing.

OBSERVED RESULT
kontact and the kdepim apps like kmail, korganizer, etc show several weird behaviours:
- in kontact the vertical icon bar on the left is not working
- in all kdepim apps the fonts are wrong (bigger, and not antialiased)
- applications crash


EXPECTED RESULT
I'd expect the kdepim applications to "work normally"

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
the computer where this is happening has a nvidia card with the nvidia blob driver, and ~/ on nfs - and kontact here takes several minutes to start

attached is a screenshot of kontact and the "about this system" popup to compare the fonts.
Comment 1 Mathias Homann 2019-12-28 09:26:23 UTC
there's way more "weird behaviour":

- akregator fails to load news sources
- akregator fails to load the list of news sources
- akregator UI buttons on the "main view" are not clickable, for example the "reload session" button that appears when you start akregator after an unclean quit
Comment 2 Christoph Feck 2020-01-13 11:27:54 UTC
Wrong fonts are because of a regression in Qt 5.14.0.
