[Interest] Having an issue with a font

[Gunnar Sletta]

It is also possible that QML_USE_GLYPHCACHE_WORKAROUND=1 would have fixed this, but for the resolution in question, using bitmap rendering of glyphs will most likely give better results.

cheers,
Gunnar

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!
