Hi,

for consistency, I am shipping my app with freetype on all platforms.
This looks "correct", definitely better than using macOS or Win32's font
rendering, but ! Qt's built-in freetype does not look as good than my Linux
system's finely-tuned freetype configuration which prompted some
investigation.

It's very visible for instance in the menu bar:
* Top one is my system freetype, notice how the fonts are crispy and
beautiful.
* Below one is using Qt's -qt-freetype: notice how the straight lines, like
for the "t" in settings or the vertical bars in H are blurry.

If you zoom you'll notice that the one below is missing sub-pixel AA:

Thus my question: is there a way (even if that implies rebuilding Qt) to
pass configuration options to freetype ? Surely that must be possible as
it's able to do the correct thing with my distro (arch btw)'s Qt / freetype
/ fontconfig combo.

Kind regards,
Jean-Michaël
