[opensuse-kde] extremely weird font behaviour with plasma / KDE from KDE: buildservice repos
Hi, let me show you two screenshots: https://gyazo.com/f204d96be954a6f8b522947736bfd0b7 https://gyazo.com/0bae79574db7bccf4620557966ceab51 The first shows my font settings in KDE / Plasma: pretty straighforward, everything is set to Segoe UI 12 Pt, except fixed width which is Consolas 12Pt. The second one is where it gets funny: it shows part of my desktop and three application windows. Observe how my desktop, and one of the apps, actually uses the font settings from my control center, but the other two apps dont! The app that does was built in my own OBS repo, the two apps that don't are from KDE:Frameworks5. Any ideas how to fix that? My guess is that somehow Frameworks5 or even Qt5 uses a different, possibly broken, libfreetype, to build, but it is not published.

Looking at the changes in KDE:Qt5.14... I'm not 100% sure but I think the start of this behaviour was just after Qt 5.14 appeared in the repo, or right after the three patches for QTBUG-80982 came in. I also think the behaviour is depending on DPI of your display, my main machine has 81DPI and it is very noticeable, my laptop has 100DPI and it doen't really show at all. On the other hand it also seems to break mouse click events at least in some apps, in kontact I can't click on anything inside the client area (folders in kmail, for example).

Looks like https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=415421. No complete fix known so far. You can set QT_AUTO_SCREEN_SCALE_FACTOR=0 for now, but it might break with Qt 5.14.1 again when the bug got fixed... https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1160624 is a downstream report. Cheers, Fabian

where / how do I set that, just as a shell variable before I start the session? /etc/profile.d/ comes to mind. Cheers MH -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kde+owner@opensuse.org

That fixed the font issues - but it turns out that my issues with akregator are unleated. anyway, thanks a bucket! what's the best place to set that globally? /etc/profile.d/000-QT_FONT_SCALE_FIX.sh ?

You mean this?

I haven't heard of an issue like that, when did it start?
anyway, thanks a bucket! what's the best place to set that globally? /etc/profile.d/000-QT_FONT_SCALE_FIX.sh ?
/etc/xdg/plasma-workspave/env/scale.sh should do it as well. Cheers, Fabian

One of the apps that doesn't have your preferred settings is Firefox. This will derive its settings from the GTK Application Style in System Settings, not the main Font settings. I can't tell what the second app that doesn't conform is. gumb -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kde+owner@opensuse.org

Sorry I just saw you detailed the four apps. Well I don't know why the other one doesn't conform. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kde+owner@opensuse.org
