    Default ugly fonts

    I have downloaded and compiled qt 4.7.2 and my qt apps got this ugly alised fonts
    what can I do to get rid of them ?

    I'm running on ubuntu, did the xml thing mentioned in other forums (under ~/.fonts.conf), got qtconfig, called setStyleStrategy on application main font, and none of them worked.
    I got qtconfig4 and the app itself seems like it is qt made, and the fonts on that app are ok, I thought that might be a problem with building Qt, but I didn't configure -no-fontconfig , and also the qtconfig seems to take effect on my app when changing font family and other stuff !

    did I miss something in my code ? or building Qt ?

    It is solved, in case of anyone else encounters the same thing, I have rebuilt the Qt using -fontconfig flag. it is mentioned in the document that it is the default flag, but it seems, that it wasn't !

    Default Re: ugly fonts

    It is the default flag but maybe your system was lacking required development files for fontconfig and configure skipped the flag as unusable. It should mention that fact in configure logs.
    Your biological and technological distinctiveness will be added to our own. Resistance is futile.
