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-\> ```auto [phoenix@ArchLinux ~]$ pyenv/bin/anki Running with temporary Qt5 compatibility shims.

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. ---
