Details

    • Bug
    • Resolution: Duplicate
    • P2: Important
    • None
    • 5.1.1
    • GUI: Font handling
    • Linux (Debian 6, Ubuntu 12.04), most probably reproduces also on Windows with directwrite

    Description

      The test case attached here goes through all
      hinting settings and compares QPicture and QPrinter output.

      Build and run the example code. Open the generated test.pdf. Compare the pages. Note that some of the pages are created by drawing to a QPicture then played back on a PDF printer. Some are drawn directly to the PDF printer.

      The font used is set to use no hinting. The computed bounding box for the text doesn't match the actual text drawn in the case of QPicture.

      QPicture also doesn't record hinting or ignores it when playing back.
