first, thanks for your help

- I tried several fonts on different OSs but in all cases the font character positioning is wrong ( additional spaces appear between characters)

- after the result you give to me, I tried to compile the same application with Qt version 4.7.4 on windows 7, and I got a very good result pretty like the one you sent to me. looks like the problem is in the printing support of the latest Qt !

thanks again.

I used Qt 5.1.1 on Windows 7 64 bit.
How about the printing issue that you were facing ? ( the flipped parenthesis )
Did you fix it ?

Good Luck.

the flipped parenthesis problem when printed to a hw printer still exists even when compiled with 4.7.4


I've submitted a bug report, anyway: https://bugreports.qt-project.org/browse/QTBUG-34678

@toufic.dbouk

I've just notices the bugfix ( as I think ) in the changes log of Qt 5.1.1:

- REG: Fix character size when exporting PDF on Windows

https://qt.gitorious.org/qt/qtbase/s.../changes-5.1.1

I will test it on windows 7 64 bit using Qt 5.1.1 in a couple of days and get back to the post.

Good Luck.
