Are you using the official binary build from the Anki website, or your distro’s package?

I have two builds, both showing same behaviour.

  1. https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/anki-bin
  2. Anki-beta using Pip method https://betas.ankiweb.net/

console Output AnkiBeta->

Given that it happens with both system and bundled Qt libraries, I’m guessing it’s some font-related issue. Your distro’s forums may have some ideas.

I asked on https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=2118687#p2118687 , and then found out that Anki was running on wayland, QT_QPA_PLATFORM=wayland and ANKI_WAYLAND=1 were set , so is it known bug that pixalation will ocuur in wayland or is it just me facing this ?

If i set QT_QPA_PLATFORM=xcb , then anki runs on xwayland and font renders perfectly.

But the problem is , i 't want to keep QT_QPA_PLATFORM=wayland for other QT programs.

Is there a way to make only force anki to run on xwayland ? i tried ANKI_WAYLAND=0 but it dosen’t change anything and anki still runs on wayland.

I use Sway (Wayland) and fonts are nice and crisp, so I’m not sure what the problem could be. You could make a simple wrapper script that sets QT_QPA_PLATFORM and then invokes Anki if you don’t want to have the setting applied globally.
