After the upgrade to QlikView 12.30 or higher releases, small dimension text is blurry. The same text was correct in QlikView 12.20 or lower releases.

Environment

  • QlikView 12.30 and higher releases.

 

The problem of the blurry small text is a known consequence of the introduction of the new graphic, called Skia in QlikView 12.30. See this article for more information about Skia: Clarification regarding new Skia rendering engine and IE Plugin

The problem occurs because with Skia, we enable Anti-Aliasing for Text by default and it makes text looks a bit "blurry" in very small fonts. This is the expected behaviour.

 

Resolution:


A possible workaround is to disable the anti-aliasing adding this line in the in Settings.ini file ( <userID>\AppData\Roaming\QlikTech\QlikView\Settings.ini 😞

SkiaDefaultAntiAliasForString=0

Please note: disable anti-aliasing for text sometimes make it look different as expected, so test carefully before you apply it in a production environment.

 Another option is to disable Skia and to move back to GDI + rendering. See article below.
