Comment 1 David Walser 2015-06-19 23:01:10 CEST
As discussed on IRC, the font issue only happens with a Qt5 build (not a Qt4 build), so it's a Qt5 settings issue.

Source RPM: qupzilla 1.8.6 => qupzilla, qtbase5

Comment 2 Florian Hubold 2015-06-22 23:06:02 CEST
What desktop environment do you use, and is that a fresh Mageia 5 installation or an upgrade? I think I saw similar issues with LXQt with fresh user profile when no Qt settings were applied yet.
Comment 3 Alket Rexhepi 2015-06-23 18:38:47 CEST
I freshly installed RC5. Will download the released version and test it in virtualbox and report.
Comment 4 Florian Hubold 2015-06-23 19:00:49 CEST
Please also add the information which desktop environment you chose (KDE4, GNOME, LXQt, LXDE, XFCE ...) ;)
Comment 5 Florian Hubold 2015-06-23 22:46:17 CEST
Reproduced with fresh mga5 kde install. qupzilla / Qt5 simply doesn't do antialiasing for the most fonts. Could also be due to our buggy Qt5 version, see e.g. https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-27106

Visible really well if you click on the default link "Qupzilla Wiki". The normal text looks really ugly, or maybe it does not display with a proper font.

Created attachment 6814 [details]
List of installed rpm about fonts

I had the same problem (pixalisation) and i removed some font packages but i don't remember which.
I attach a list with my installed rpm with 'font' in the name.

Now fonts with Qupzilla Qt5 looks fine.

You can just make it little better with disabling bitmap fonts they are ugly and look crispy with any other browsers too like firefox chrome.

ln -s /usr/share/fontconfig/conf.avail/70-no-bitmaps.conf /etc/fonts/conf.d/70-no-bitmaps.conf

Comment 8 Otto Leipälä 2015-07-23 19:33:01 CEST
It seems qt5 use xft settings to font rendering i get better fonts smoothing with lxqt this to /etc/X11/Xresources and user home ~/.Xresources.

Xft.autohint: 0
Xft.lcdfilter:  lcddefault
Xft.hintstyle:  hintfull
Xft.hinting: 1
Xft.antialias: 1
Xft.rgba: rgb

Comment 9 Nicolas Lécureuil 2017-03-14 23:26:39 CET
is this bug still valid on current cauldron ?
Comment 10 aguador 2017-03-14 23:52:05 CET
I have Qupzilla as a secondary browser and see no font issues in Cauldron running E21.

Comment 11 Nicolas Lécureuil 2017-03-16 21:31:54 CET
so we can close this bugreport ?
Comment 12 Otto Leipälä 2017-04-17 09:24:14 CEST
Maybe this bug is only with qtwebkit in Mageia 5 but bug can be fixed by creating my suggested symlink to disable bitmap fonts.
Comment 13 Aurelien Oudelet 2021-05-17 01:15:20 CEST
Users who have experienced this problem are encouraged to upgrade to the latest update of their distribution, and if this issue turns out to still be reproducible in the latest update, please reopen this bug with additional information.

Closing as OLD.
