      Windows 10 (Version 2004, Build 19041.572)

      Scaling 100%

      "Smooth edges of screen fonts" - enabled

      "Turn on ClearType" - disabled

      (this corresponds to PixelStructure = 0 in the registry)

      Telegram (GDI mode - Freetype looks good)

      Picard (started in 2.5.1 - according to the change history they updated to Qt 5.15.1)

      OBS Studio

      Virtualbox

      In the case of Telegram I tried adding

      setHintingPreference(QFont::PreferVerticalHinting)

      ..and that seemed to fix it. Applications shouldn't have to do this though - Qt could detect grayscale antialiasing on Windows and default to the appropriate hinting automatically.
