QCAD Version: 27.0.3  
Operating System: Linux Mint 22.3, PC with integrated graphics.

In Application Preferences\>Graphics View\>Appearance, with ‘Use RHI Graphicsview’ checked, dimension text, which should be green is yellow (dimns are on a layer whose colour is yellow, label colour is set to green) and curved parts of the text are ‘odd’ as below…

…if I uncheck RHI Graphicsview then dimn text is as it should be…

…in both cases ‘Anti-aliasing on by default’ is checked, if I uncheck Anti-aliasing with RHI Graphicsview checked then the text is rendered correctly but the colour remains incorrect.

Thanks.

Do you notice other poor rendering of (small) arcs in general?

The color problem should be fixed for the next release:

I’ve just checked and all other small arcs and circles render as expected

Are only dimension labels showing the rendering problem or also other text in line fonts (e.g. “Standard”)? Thanks.

just checked and text using Standard font also displays rendering issue, other fonts, i.e. Arial seem to be ok.
