@mindtheegab, can you specify (or ideally, provide a visual example of) what you refer to? I ask because it doesn't appear to be that way for me:

However, the text rendering is obviously custom, because it doesn't quite adhere to kcm_fonts' anti-aliasing preferences, nor its font selection.

Relevantly, I'm using https://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org//packages/kwin/6.0.4.1/1.fc40/x86_64/kwin-wayland-6.0.4.1-1.fc40.x86_64.rpm.

Electron should be using Ozone platform auto (prefers Wayland unless it’s not available then uses X11) instead of default (prefers X11 unless not available).

@ahydronous we don't use Electron, we use Qt

Oh damn, I totally thought it was Electron with a native windowframe.
Then I’m not sure what the issue is. It is happening for me too. Other QT applications (Telegram for example) render sharp text for me.
