Hi,

 >Inside qpaintengine_raster.cpp, in the begin function, there is a 
check that decides which glyphCache is being used. It should pick 
RGBMask for the windows >backingstore. I suspect that the bug is that it 
does not pick that path. Find out why, and you have your fix :)

The value is correct, it is 0 ( RGBMask ).

The issue is apparently that the Free Type font engine is used, which 
still requires a bit of work on Windows. In the meantime, you can use 
the native font engine by specifying the command line argument:

<app> -platform windows:fontengine=native

Regards,
Friedemann
