Plasma system monitor screenshot

SUMMARY
  When using fractional scaling (125%) in some parts of the plasma-systemmonitor the fonts are broken/pixelated and also sometimes icons are blurry. This can be found in all kirigami apps. I use Open sans semibold 10 as the font for plasma.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open system monitor
2. Just inspect the UI

OBSERVED RESULT
Broken/pixelated fonts

EXPECTED RESULT
Good font rendering and clean UI

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma:  EndeavourOS 
KDE Plasma Version: 6.1.5
KDE Frameworks Version: 6.6.0
Qt Version: 6.7.2
Kernel Version: 6.10.10-zen1-1-zen (64-bit)
Graphics Platform: Wayland

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Comment 1 Nate Graham 2024-09-17 14:16:13 UTC 
Can you attach a screenshot that shows the issue in another Kirigami app? Or even better, more than one such screenshot?
Comment 2 Noah Davis 2024-09-17 14:41:23 UTC 
I have reproduced the issue and setting `pixelAligned` to true on the TableView seems to fix the problem.

I got this by scrolling in the table view with my touchpad, but it's kind of hard to see if you aren't paying close attention.
