[5.9 REG] Garbled text rendering with QLabel and alpha channel

    XMLWordPrintable

Details

    Description

      This example:

      #include <QApplication>
      #include <QLabel>
      
      int main(int argc, char *argv[])
      {
          QApplication app(argc, argv);
      
          QLabel *label = new QLabel();
          label->setText("abc");
          label->setStyleSheet("background-color: rgba(255, 247, 133, 0.8);"
                               "color: black;"
                               "font: 20pt Monospace");
          label->show();
      
          return app.exec();
      }
      
      TEMPLATE = app
      TARGET = labeltest
      QT += widgets
      SOURCES += main.cpp
      

      with the following ~/.config/fontconfig/fonts.conf:

      <?xml version="1.0"?>
      <!DOCTYPE fontconfig SYSTEM "fonts.dtd">
      <fontconfig>
       <match target="font">
        <edit name="rgba" mode="assign">
         <const>rgb</const>
        </edit>
       </match>
      </fontconfig>
      

      Looks properly on Qt 5.8:

      But wrong on Qt 5.9:

      I was able to bisect this to the following change in qtbase: https://codereview.qt-project.org/#/c/171930/

      Replace QDrawHelperGammaTables with QColorProfile

      Turns the two set of tables in QDrawHelperGammaTables into two
      QColorProfile classes that use similar structures and can be reused for
      other gamma correction.
      At the same time clean-up and improve the comma-correct blending code
      to use the new profiles and QRgba64 precision.
