Bug ID: 489101
Summary: Fonts render ugly when Scaling is fractional.
Classification: I don't know
Product: kde
Version: unspecified
Platform: Arch Linux
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal

Screenshot of the Window decoration of Davinci Resolve. The rendering is off,
just like described in the report.
SUMMARY
After Upgrading to Plasma 6.1 Fonts became ugly.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Set Wayland Scaling to any fractional value (e.g. 150%)
2. Pay close attention to any labels within a software. Most noticeable are
window decorations when a window is maximized
OBSERVED RESULT
Letters are not in a straight line and the spacing looks off. Also some letters
appear wider than others, while some are way too thin and hard to read. This
affects any font. IBM Plex is used in this example, but other fonts show the
same behaviour.
EXPECTED RESULT
Font rendering just like in Plasma 6.0
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: Arch Linux 6.9.6-arch1 (Patch Level from 24.06.2024)
(available in About System)
KDE Plasma Version: 6.1.0
KDE Frameworks Version: 6.3.0
Qt Version: 6.7.2
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Font rendering becomes decent again when switched to 200% scaling.
