[Interest] Qt5 font size issue with fontconfig

[Ramakanth Kesireddy]

Thanks a lot for your feedback.
Could you please let me know the bug that has been fixed in Qt 4.8?
Yes shall reduce the point size as it appears the font size is large unlike
Qt4.8 and the text is truncated in table view rows and other text in UI.

Shall upgrade the version early next year either Qt 5.12 or Qt6.

Best Regards,
Ramakanth
