That's not only Qt...
I just upgraded my (free) ATI driver to the latest git to get xrandr 1.2 support, and all the font rendering is now far far better everywhere. For instance in KWord the text underline was in the middle of the text, now its position is good. So be careful with this font thing...

yes, very right. I said to Boud on IRC its likely in the 'lower layers', it ended up on his post above as 'in Qt'. Almost right :)

There are actually various shared libs being used by a large set of font rendering stuff on Linux. This are all rapidly improving since not only KWord, but all of Qt, Pango (for gtk stuff) and IIRC also firefox are sharing that lower level stuff.

KWord is not released yet, and we are all working hard on fixing all the things that need to be fixed to make KOffice have the most beautiful and versatile text layouting and rendering engine for you.

So, for the guy that went slightly off topic on this GSoC story; this is alpha stage software and we are aware of such issues. Working on it! :)
