Description:
After latest update, when I open any epub file, the text looks as if there is no anti-aliasing enabled. I installed calibre from flatpak and it doesn't show this problem, so I guess it's a packaging issue.

Additional info:
* Version : 6.16.0-1

Not enough context provided. Desktop env? Wayland?

I've just found a workaround. Changing the scale of my "Display Configuration" from 150% to 100% in KDE systemsettings, fixes the issue for me. Though with my screen resolution of 2560x1600, 150% would look much better. Since the upstream program doesn't show this in the flatpak version, I think this is a packaging issue, am I wrong?
