macOS 10.13 runs on all 64-bit Intel Macs. It's 10.14 that requires Haswell,
which is today only 6½ year
From what I've seen, it's a combination of poor font hinting, a bad cleartype
implementation, it some combination there of. You can change the way Qt handles
the font hinting, by turning off antialiased text. It'll good the issue, but
then the text won't appear smooth.

It's funny that there's so much discussion about dropping Windows 7

One thing that I probably missed in this thread, though I have been reading it

What is the Qt way to handle this? It cant be to tell your users not to
use ~. Can it? Does everyone write their own little “analyze the string
before actually using it, and handle ~”?
How are users entering these paths to start with?

I’m feeling really stupid right now 😊
Ive been a Qt user for almost 20 years, and I cant believe I have never had to
deal with this before.
If you are working with a path, for use in QDir, QFileInfo, QFile etc etc, and
the path string is using a ~, either of the form ~/foo.txt or ~user/foo.txt,
Nothing force you to upgrade to Qt6, you can still make evolve that application
into Qt 5.15 as long as your user still use Windows 7. Windows 7 is old, the
days of keeping old OS around have been over for 10 years IMO. Everything is
moving to evergreen (OS, Web browser, application...). Otherw

That would be paradoxal, few would do this.

Hi,
with Qt 6 approaching it is time to have a look at our set of supported
platforms.
One candidate for removal of support was Windows 7. Some considerations
about dropping this support have been communicated on Qt's development
mailing list in March last year [1] and there were some discus
