Qt5 has an OpenGL engine similar to that in Qt4 so I'm guessing the fonts are rendered in a similar fashion. In addition to that Qt Quick 2 in Qt5 uses distance fields for rendering text in Qt Quick.
Thank you for your reply first!! Yea, i just know QML in qt5, it's rendered by OpenGL engine, and i wanna know if the normal text rendering has the same way, or just like what it is in Qt4...Im still reading docs of qt5 and searching more infos. pls give me some tips :)
For widget-based rendering OpenGL is not used. Standard mechanisms such as freetype and fontconfig are used on desktop Linux systems. If you want to learn more, read about "Qt Platform Abstraction" (or short QPA) plugins.
