Hello.
Since the last upgrade in Sid to Qt 5.9.1 I have noticed some fonts
rendered incorrectly in Qt applications, like Dolphin, VLC and some other
ones.
The rendered font seems to be some bolded text, but it is rendered broken,
see attached image.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.

Yes, enabling antialiasing solves the problem. It is just bold text,

If you have the bad luck to upgrade/update before someone open the
bug, you will eat it without any warning. apt-listbugs is not
bullet-proof, only helpful. Anyway I will stay in stable some time, I

Thank you for the tip.
Indexing the content of files is nice when you have only a few dozen
files. When you have thousands and thousands of PDF files content
indexing is just a nightmare, a big cpu/memory/disk waste and does not
work at all. Baloo should be completely optional and never be
