Description ioo+kde 2024-06-27 15:47:30 UTC
SUMMARY
In KMail 6.1.1 (24.05.1) The font in the message field of email is horribly jagged, almost unreadable.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open Kmail

OBSERVED RESULT
1. Observe that you can't read the actual email the fonts are all messed up.

EXPECTED RESULT
1. Fonts should render properly like all other KDE applications.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Windows: 
Linux/KDE Plasma: KDE Neon
KDE Plasma Version:  6.1.1
KDE Frameworks Version: 6.3.0
Qt Version: 6.7.0

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
All other KDE app fonts on this system look beautiful. Thefons in the other kmail frames, the tool bar, icons etc all  look normal and beautiful however the fonts in the actual mail field are so jagged the mail is almost unreadable. All display settings are set at default on this system.

I'm not able to reproduce this on Solus or KDE Neon, Plasma 6.1.1
KMail 6.1.1 (24.05.1)

I tried with and without enabling custom fonts. I tested a number of fonts for the message body, and they all looked as clear as fonts in the rest of the UI.

In your KMail settings, under Appearance - Fonts, do you have custom fonts enabled?
If so, what font do  you have selected for "Message Body"?
