Ugly fonts in Akregator on KDE Neon

I installed the latest version of Akregator from KDE Neon repos (not Flatpak) and the fonts and as far as I see there is no anti-aliasing of fonts in the webview. It’s a bit harder to see it on the attached screenshot but basically the fonts are really ugly. Is this a Neon bug?

No, unfortunately it’s a Qt bug. Are you using a fractional scale?

Dollars to donuts this is Loading....

Yes, I am using fractional scale on this 1440p monitor (second monitor in my setup), but I did try to revert it to 100% and the font rendering is still broken.

Thanks for pointing to the bug report! I’ll try setting QT_SCALE_FACTOR_ROUNDING_POLICY=RoundPreferFloor and see if that fixes it for me.
