    Description

      QFont::setHintingPreference() doesn't have any effect on Windows with FreeType engine.

      Debugging shows that hinting is set inside QWindowsFontDatabase::fontEngine() and QFontConfigDatabase::fontEngine() methods. But Windows with FT uses QBasicFontDatabase, which wasn't setting hinting in one of it's fontEngine() overloads.
