[Interest] Having an issue with a font

[Rogers Nate]

Just wanted to let the list know I was able to fix this by setting QML_DISABLE_DISTANCEFIELD=1 in QtCreator under Projects > Run Environment.  Not sure why I needed to do this but I am happy now, fonts look great!

Subject: [Interest] Having an issue with a font

I am having an issue where sometimes certain letters of one of the fonts I am using are getting corrupted.  It is not always the same letter, each time I do a build it changes, one time it may be a W then next time it's a c or an h, sometimes it is none.  Anyway the font itself looks fine to me but I attached it for your review.  I also took a picture of the screen so you could see what is happening.  Notice the lowercase c and the lowercase h, it is especially noticeable on the c.  I am not sure what to do so any advice would be helpful.  Thanks!

BTW I am using Qt5.1.1, eglfs platform, embedded Linux, on a am335x starter kit which has a 480x272 pixel 4.3in display.

Here is an example of the code that is generating the buttons/text in the image...

import QtQuick 2.1

Item
{
    id: button

    // Expose properties to parent
    property alias text: label.text
    property alias value: value.text

    // Define fonts
    FontLoader { id: universLTStd47LightCnFont; source: "fonts/UniversLTStd47LightCn.otf" }

    Rectangle
    {
        // Setup the background properties
        id: background
        x: 0
        y: 0
        width: 380
        height: 46
        smooth: true
        focus: true
        anchors.fill: parent
        color: "#4f4f4f"

        Item
        {
            id: normalMenuButton
            anchors.fill: parent

            Text
            {
                id: label
                anchors.left: parent.left
                anchors.leftMargin: 10
                anchors.verticalCenter: parent.verticalCenter
                anchors.verticalCenterOffset: 4
                font.family: universLTStd47LightCnFont.name
                color: "#f4f4f4"
                text: "Menu Item"
                font.pixelSize: 24
                smooth: true
            }

            Text
            {
                id: value
                anchors.right: parent.right
                anchors.rightMargin: 10
                anchors.verticalCenter: parent.verticalCenter
                anchors.verticalCenterOffset: 4
                font.family: universLTStd47LightCnFont.name
                color: "#ada37e"
                text: ">"
                font.pixelSize: 22
                smooth: true
            }
        }
    }
}
