    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.

    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.
