[Bug 921555]

[Christoph-maxiom]

Report it for each application where you see it. Qt cannot be fixed,
because rendering into a bitmap cannot add subpixel hinting, because Qt
does not know which screen (if at all) the bitmap is going to be copied
into.

The respective application developers can then decide to change the code
not to render into a bitmap, but directly to the widget's painter. Or
maybe they are using Plasma text rendering calls, without being aware of
the issue. Or they use Plasma calls intentionally, to get the blurred
shadows to be better readable with transparent themes.

You might point them to this bug report, especially comment #21 and
comment #33.

Plasma developers could check, if rendering the shadows could be
decoupled from rendering the text, but that might cause issues when the
metrics does not match accurately.

Anyway, what you see is related, but a completely different issue what
this bug is about. Since bug 260943 has been marked upstream, I will do
the same for this one.
