Thank you for the bug report! I think this is the same issue as bug 479891; as you can see from the screenshot in the second comment, a way too thin letter 'i' is one of the symptoms of that bug. There are some workarounds, and the next version of Qt is supposed to solve many or all cases of this. 

Marking this as a duplicate; if you believe this is a separate issue, please reopen.
