Hi Jens, I find the Qt decision in this area a bit strange - to put it mildly. Text should imho look good at it's defaults (that's called strong defaults). Zooming is a nice feature in QML, but remember, the majority of apps are probably not even going to have zooming support so perhaps it's wise to make "renderType: Text.NativeRendering" the default and let the user enable the distance field based rendering when they need it. Note: the renderType property is not documented: http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-5.0/qtquick/qml-qtquick2-text.html Cheers, Mark > > On Dec 20, 2012, at 10:15 PM, Mark <[email protected]> wrote: > >> Hi, >> >> I'm just running the default examples, but the font looks..
