Qt 5.4 Is Now Under A Feature Freeze

[schmidtbag]

I too frequently use and develop with Qt5 and I don't get font rendering issues. But, I also don't do anything that special with them.

Qt 5 still has broken font rendering under Linux, after all this time. And nobody at Qt cares.

After Digia got hold of it, Linux support isn't very important anymore.

I use Qt5 on linux every day, and have not had any issues with font rendering. I run into a few on Qt4, but those are only triggered by some broken webfonts loaded by qtwebkit.

Btw, if anything Linux support still has a way better support than it should have considering the paying customers are mostly on Windows, but almost all Qt developers at Digia use Linux as their development platform, and with QtCreator now using Qt5, that means most Qt developers are now using Qt5 on Linux every day.
