    Description

      By default on a Mac LCD font smoothing is on. When it is fonts in QML have an increased weight and look emboldened when compared to not using font smoothing. When it is off they look correct. So by default Mac users will experience QML apps as having incorrect font appearance. This is a big deal. Screen shots attached.
