Can you explain a bit more? Maybe record a video?

I just want to change the editor font, no other Settings. Install from scoop.

Comment 3 Waqar Ahmed 2024-12-26 08:03:40 UTC

Scoop seems to just fetch the binary from kde cdn: https://github.com/ScoopInstaller/Extras/blob/master/bucket/kate.json

The latest release should be using Qt 6.8 and frameworks 6.9? Can you confirm (Check the "About Kate" dialog, under "Components" tab) ?

So it doesn't seem to be a dupe of https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=493060 or the fix for that bug is not sufficient.

I added the qt.conf file in the bin directory to get the program running properly.
```
[Platforms]
WindowsArguments = fontengine=freetype

```
