Bug#525669: Font rendering in Qt 4.5



Hi!

Thanks for your quick response!

Yes, thanks. I had a look into QTs changelog before posting, but could not 
pinpoint the change which caused the change.

It doesn't really matter anyway, as the web link you posted and the 
original page I mentioned in my bug report show solutions which solve the 
display problem.

It took some time to google the solution, however, and I guess many users 
- not knowing anything about libfontconfig or even its existence - will 
not be able to use the information on these pages at all.

That's why I suggested to add an explanation and some easily activatable 
config file snipped to the QT package's docs, and maybe already install an 
appropriate file in "/etc/fonts/conf.avail/" with an explanation in the 
README of how to link it to "conf.d".

I'd even vote for this configuration to be default, as I wrote, but I 
understand that there might be people who actually prefer the 
significantly more blurred non-legacy font rendering. (Though I wonder 
why, as I do not see the point in "smoothing" exactly vertical or 
horizontal lines which will never look yagged by definition...)

Greetings,

  Gunter
