Unsharp fonts in MP

Hi,
when I compare XnView Classic and MP I found that the fonts in MP look distorted. Check for example the character B and the vertical parts of H:
XnView Classic
- classic.png (8.83 KiB) Viewed 725 times
XnView MP
- mp.png (10.96 KiB) Viewed 725 times
Is there a setting to get the sharp fonts back like in the Classic version?

Yes, Windows 10, no font scaling, but my guess is that having ClearType disabled may be the cause.
Applications that use Qt seem to have a problem with that (I have experienced similar with the video editor Kdenlive).
Activating ClearType makes everything blurry IMO and having it disabled is perfect for all regular windows applications. Only some (Qt?) have a problem with that.
So I hope there's an Xnview or Windows setting that makes XnView behave like a regular Windows program.

Small addition: just checked Kdenlive (also Qt): Looks different to the windows app but better than XnView. Maybe due to a different font size?

Do you have ClearType disabled as well?

right, when disabling cleartype. Which QT version is used by Kdenlive?

Kdenlive uses Qt 5.15.9 in the moment (program version 23.04.1). Later this year they plan to upgrade to Qt6.
