Why is my text not antialiased?
Text antialiasing in Qt is based on the underlying font system. If a font is not being antialiased it is most likely because it is a bitmap font or because the underlying system does not support it. On X11 for instance, Xft is required to draw antialised fonts.
It is possible to specify a style strategy to QFont [doc.qt.nokia.com], using QFont::StyleStrategy [doc.qt.nokia.com], which can be a hint to tell the font not to use a bitmap font. Depending on the fonts available on the system and the font family specified, this may or may not work.
On Windows 2000 fonts are usually not antialiased within a certain range (say sizes 8-16) to make text more crisp and readable.
