<please do bottom posting> Reported the issue: https://bugreports.qt-project.org/browse/QTBUG-28782 Also you say that you changed to NativeRendering in the desktop components.. I don't think that's a good idea since then it will be very likely that one app that uses the components will have two different fonts. Native rendered fonts for the components and the Qt default for the ones that aren't in your component set. That's not ideal - far from it. It would be better to: - either optimize displacement stuff to look good enough and use that everywhere - use native rendering everywhere and let the user decide when to change. Another option would be a command line argument. For example something like this: qmlapp myapp.qml -fontrendering native Where qmlapp is the executable to run a qml file.
