I suspect Qt will not allow zero width or height.
the pen's zero width was coerced to 1 px and the brush can
only draw the interior of rectangle so that the 1px border
around a rectangle is not drawn. I guess you can try setting the
pen color to be the same of the brush color.

the qextent should work reasonably well, did you set glfont
before calling qextent?
