- This originally showed up as fonts rendering differently on X11 than Wayland. (#230) - Setting font size in points should be device and back end independent, however the same exact font face and size, on the same machine, sometimes results in different font metrics between the xcb and wayland Qt back ends. - Setting font size in pixels, assuming a virtual DPI of 96 pixels/inch, results in consistent font metrics and rendering between these back ends. Furthermore, this virtual DPI works for either on-screen or hi-res printer QPainter contexts. - This virtual DPI seems to work correctly with some limited testing with Windows and MacOS. - Add rendering tests to build-tests CI script.
Important
This repo is for glabels-qt, NOT the legacy glabels-3 version (which I have not maintained since 2018).
What is gLabels-qt?

- User-defined variables
- Support for continuous-roll labels
- Many new product templates
Download
Latest Release
There are currently no official releases of gLabels 4.
Continuous Integration Snapshots
Currently there are no self-hosted binary snapshot releases available. I plan to make these available again once 4.0 is more imminent. In the mean time, I encourage you to try building the code yourself.
Some third-party packages may be available available:
