macOS Mojave with Non-Retina display workaround. commands used, workaround for earlier versions of Qt: defaults -currentHost write -globalDomain AppleFontSmoothing -int 2 defaults write -g CGFontRenderingFontSmoothingDisabled -bool NO

Platform/s:

macOS

Description

When a macOS Mojave system has disabled CGFontRenderingFontSmoothingDisabled for issues in Non-Retina displays, the Qt applications built against Qt 5.12 has a very thin font. When default font settings are restored the font weight display normally.

This configuration is used for designer and macOS users with non-retina displays and it was the workaround for good-looking fonts in earlier Qt versions as 5.11 or 5.9.
