+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #466683 +++ Operating System: Fedora Linux 37 KDE Plasma Version: 5.27.2 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.103.0 Qt Version: 5.15.8 Kernel Version: 6.1.14-200.fc37.x86_64 (64-bit) Graphics Platform: Wayland Processors: 8 × Intel® Core™ i7-7820HQ CPU @ 2.90GHz Memory: 31,1 GiB of RAM Graphics Processor: Mesa Intel® HD Graphics 630 Setup: Laptop with 2K Laptop screen and a fullhd screen (1920x1080) connected by displayPort Use fullHD monitor as 'primary' and perform all tests on the fullHD monitor (ignore laptop screen) Go to systemsettings > display config and set 175% scale for 2K laptop screen, 100% for fullhd screen. This makes apps/windows on both monitors the same visual size. Problem: The font renderings on the fullhd monitor are not as clear/smooth as compared to normal (100/100% scale). - This affects the font-rendering which appears pixelated - The kerning/hinting of letters is also bad (font hinting is set to 'slight', but it gets worse with medium or full) This is especially noticeable with small fonts like in thunderbird, a browser like chrome/firefox and typical webpage-fonts render smoothly. In my case, i am using Tahoma (ttf) with 8px size. As indicated above, switching to 100%/100% on both monitors solves the problem
Can reproduce.
Does this issue still occur with Plasma 6 and Qt 6?
