So I tried running Anki in KDE Plasma 6 and the fonts are blurry. I have a 125% scaling in KDE and Anki. Even with 100% scaling in Anki the fonts are blurry. In legacy X11 Applications I have the set the applications to apply scaling themselves

I see the following lines in command line:

```auto

Qt warning: The cached device pixel ratio value was stale on window expose. Please file a QTBUG which explains how to reproduce.

```

Is there a way to fix it?

Does this help? [Wayland - Anki Manual](https://docs.ankiweb.net/platform/linux/wayland.html)

Wayland support is not ready

Did the variable `QT_SCALE_FACTOR_ROUNDING_POLICY=RoundPreferFloor` did not work? or is it another [problem](https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-113574) with fractional scaling?

Hi. I am also getting the blurry fonts in wayland (hyprland)

```auto
export QT_QPA_PLATFORM=wayland
export ANKI_WAYLAND=1
export QT_SCALE_FACTOR_ROUNDING_POLICY=RoundPreferFloor

```

in ~/.bashrc  
one of those fixed the error message OP was getting but the weird blurry font persists

update : the conjunction of the following 2 lines in hyprland.conf fixes the issue…

```auto
monitor=,highres,auto,$INTEGER
```

and

```auto
QT_SCALE_FACTOR,$INTEGER
```

where INTEGER is any positive integer.

the problem with this solution is that everything else scales with the monitor setting, and 1 is too small while 2 is too big. The rounding policy environment variable doesn’t seem to work
