    Could be some upstream issue. Did you look in their bug tracker /
    forum?

    I did not see anything on the kdepim-users mailing list but I did not follow it closely in the last weeks.

    I think it's this issue:

    https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=482128

    Great find! Thank you!

    If you like you could open a Debian bug report for tracking. Not exactly
    sure which package, maybe libqt6webenginecore6.

    For later reference:

    kontact does not show antialiased fonts in mail content (and in akregator)

    https://bugs.kde.org/482128

    Qt bug referenced there:

    Incorrect sizing and bad text rendering with WebEngine using fractional
    scaling on Wayland

    https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-113574

    So it seems this will affect everything that uses Qt WebEngine with
    fractional scaling on Wayland.

    Best,

    Or at least let's hope Qt is upgraded to 6.8 in Debian before trixie, as that bug is fixed in Qt 6.8.
