What you can do in your example is
scene_font.setHintingPreference(QFont::PreferNoHinting);
to prefer that hinting not be used at all. I tested this on X11/Linux.
I'm attaching the before/after results.
I'm not sure what effect this setting has on all the platforms, but
it's just a hint so I guess it might be ignored on some of them.
