what is your Windows version? XP has troubles with QML and custom fonts

This may be because QML file is not UTF-8 formated.

You have to convert that file into UTF-8 format.

I found this bugreport while searching deep into the matter.
Chinese font Bugreport [bugreports.qt.nokia.com]

qtrahul, are you sure that smoothness of fonts can depend on encoding? As for me these two things re totally unrelated.

If it’s not “smooth” it seems that there are problems with anti aliasing or something like that. Or there are not any “good” chinese fonts installed on the windows box.

If the encoding was wrong, there would be garbage on the screen.

Volker, yes. Maybe wrong graphicssystem is chosen?

winxp and win7 is the same question
font can display correctly in windows and ubuntu,
and the font look better in ubuntu than windows
you can see here

upper is in win7 ,and following is in ubuntu, at the same computer,
you can see carefully ,carefully

The bottom one looks smoother/nicer on my screen. That is Windows 7?

However, on closer inspection, the only issue with the top one appears to be JPEG artifacting.

I was confused , sorry. the upper is in win7 and the following is in ubuntu

Do you have Windows ClearType on?

Also, can you take your screenshots as PNG? There is crazy JPEG artifacting in the Windows image which makes it hard to compare.

I think it is all down to the operating systems rendering unfortunately. Qt doesn’t mess with that.

I take shot from win7 and ubuntu at my laptop

[EDIT: added @-tags for code formatting, Volker]

It seems you are right. I’ve just tested your example and it is not smooth in the QML but smooth in the MS Word. Maybe you should file bugreport?

It seems nothing to do with the Chinese characters either. The English ones in that screenshot have the same problem.

No one has enconter the problem in windows?

bellnas, maybe no one use such a big font in their projects. You’ve encountered the problem feel free to file a bug to trolls if you want this bug to be fixed.

I’ve created a bugreport [bugreports.qt.nokia.com] . ;)
