This is a bug in qtwebengine: https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-113574 You can work around it by setting the environment variable: QT_SCALE_FACTOR_ROUNDING_POLICY=RoundPreferFloor https://userbase.kde.org/Session_Environment_Variables Or you just wait for qt 6.8 to get released and deployed. It will be fixed in the next version. I assume this is a duplicate of 479891 otherwise please reopen again or mark as resolved upstream. :) *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 479891 *** |
Created attachment 170885 [details] Skinny 'l' SUMMARY There's something not quite right with the font rendering in NeoChat. Some letters are too skinny, and some have bad kerning. Resizing the window a little bit helps sometimes. I have my screen set to 150% scaling, which may be contributing to it. I don't think I've seen this in any other KDE apps. The settings page in NeoChat is fine and does not have the same issue. It's hard to describe, so I'll attach a few examples. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Set screen to 150% scaling 2. Load NeoChat 3. Sign in 4. Enter a room and read text in it. Try resize the window a bit. OBSERVED RESULT Text rendering is weird EXPECTED RESULT Text rendering is not weird SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux/KDE Plasma: Fedora 40 KDE Plasma Version: 6.1.0 KDE Frameworks Version: 6.3.0 Qt Version: 6.7.1 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
