Description Eugene Shalygin 2014-04-30 10:43:13 UTC

Not all fontconfig settings are used by Qt5. It reacts on changing some of the fontconfig settings, but not all of them are respected. It happens with qt 5.3.0_beta. I'm absolutely not sure, but it seems to me that 5.2.1 was rendering fonts correctly

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. lauch any Qt5 GUI application and compare font rendering with the rest of the system

Actual Results:  
They differ

Expected Results:  
Fonts are rendered in the same way 

dev-qt/qtgui-5.3.0_beta was built with the following:
USE="doc evdev gif glib harfbuzz jpeg opengl png udev xcb -accessibility -debug -eglfs -gles2 -ibus -kms -test"

media-libs/harfbuzz-0.9.26-r1 was built with the following:
USE="cairo glib graphite icu introspection truetype -static-libs -test" ABI_X86="32 64 -x32"

media-libs/freetype-2.5.3-r1 was built with the following:
USE="X adobe-cff bzip2 infinality png -auto-hinter -bindist -debug -doc -fontforge -harfbuzz -static-libs -utils" ABI_X86="32 64 -x32"

media-libs/fontconfig-2.11.1 was built with the following:
USE="-doc -static-libs" ABI_X86="32 64 -x32"

Are you suggesting that this is a downstream bug?

ping?

Comment 4 Eugene Shalygin 2014-05-30 11:04:12 UTC

Excuse me for the delay. No, this is not a Gentoo issue, but certainly is upstream bug.

Then I suggest you report it upstream, there's not much we can do about it, sorry.

Comment 6 Eugene Shalygin 2014-05-30 12:16:58 UTC

There are many such reports in upstream JIRA
