Bug#525669: libqt4: default font antialiasing of QT 4.5 results in blurry fonts, leading to bead readability
Package: libqt4-core
Version: 4.5.1-1
Severity: normal
File: libqt4
After upgrading my SID system from qt 4.4.3-2 to 4.5.1-1, fonts in all QT applications were severely blurred.
Even completely vertical lines got a coloured fringe.
http://johan.kiviniemi.name/blag/ubuntu-fonts/ discusses the problem and suggests a font.conf snipped which
fixes the font display isses.
Probably the QT 4 package should include this snipped or something with similar functionality, at least as
an easily acitvateable example which is mentioned in a README or something.
