Does it change with differnt render type? https://doc.qt.io/qt-6/qml-qtquick-text.html#renderType-prop (In reply to David Redondo from comment #2) > Does it change with differnt render type? > https://doc.qt.io/qt-6/qml-qtquick-text.html#renderType-prop Yes it does. Running plasmashell with `QML_DISABLE_DISTANCEFIELD=1 plasmashell --replace` (as suggested in https://stackoverflow.com/questions/43369016/can-i-globally-switch-to-native-text-rendering-in-qt-quick-controls-2 . IIUC this disables Text.QtRendering) results in Chinese text looking the same in Kickoff and Dolphin. |
Created attachment 178171 [details] Chinese text SUMMARY See the attachment "chinese.png". Chinese text in Kickoff (i.e., QML, the line at the bottom) is thinner than in the popup menu (lines above). This seems to affect all QML apps in KDE. E.g., Chinese text in Discover is thinner than in Dolphin. So plasmashell might not be the right component to report to, but I'm unsure where it should be. English text (see the attachment "english.png") seems to be OK. By visually comparing characters to the example text in the font selection dialog, it seems that all English text, and Chinese text in QWidget apps (e.g. Dolphin), are in the "Regular" weight, while Chinese text in QML is in the "Light" weight.
