Bug ID: 427733
Summary: Use new system fonts to improve CJK letter readability
under Windows
Product: krita
Version: 4.4.0
Platform: Microsoft Windows
OS: Microsoft Windows
Status: REPORTED
Severity: wishlist
Priority: NOR
Component: General
Assignee: krita-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: tyson...@tysontan.com
Target Milestone: ---
When Krita is set to use a CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) locale, Qt fallbacks
to use ancient Windows XP era font sets. These are bitmap, serif fonts. They
requires certain letter size (12px) to be pixel exact, and do not work well
with sub-pixel anti-aliasing, making them a poor choice for Krita. I will
attach screenshots later to showcase what I mean.
Since Windows 7, Microsoft ships a new series of UI font sets. They are:
Latin default:
Segoe UI
Simplified Chinese:
Microsoft YaHei UI
Traditional Chinese:
Microsoft JhengHei UI
Japanese:
Yu Gothic UI
Korean:
Malgun Gothic
These are sans-serif, vector fonts. They scale nicely regardless of their size.
I wonder if we can specify these fonts respectively to each CJK locale, or at
least add them to qt's fallback font list.
