      As can be seen in the attached screenshot, Qt fails to use hinting when rendering the fonts. Neither the GTK style nor Cleanlooks render the fonts with the same sharpness as GTK itself. In addition the GTK style seems to draw the fonts one pixel too large.

      This makes for a blurry impression, causing Qt Creator to not look properly integrated in the system.
