Menu Items read like a sentence
by Anonymous on Mon 15th Dec 2003 09:07 UTC

Also, I would advocate for some Qt UI changes, e.g., expanding a few pixels the space between words on the application menus. Currently, they read like a sentence instead of being wisely spaced out.

Actually the spacing is larger that those on Windows. The problem is that the font used in Menu is larger than the default in Windows. If they shrink the font size, the rendering quality will suffer, just look at the ugly text in Konqueror's address bar in this picture

the "www" part is significantly thicker than the rest in the sentence and even in one word - news - the w looks more like a bold font.
