    Default ClearType in a QT app

    Hi all,
    is it possible to force a qt application to use ClearType ? (the font rendering on Windows XP)
    I've seen a better font rendering when activating this option, but I would like to restrict it only to my app.

    thanks in advance

    bye

    Do you write clean code? - if you are TDD'ing then maybe, if not, your not writing clean code.
