Rendering of the Libertinus fonts was terrible with the (default) DirectWrite backend on Windows. Install a `qt.conf` file forcing Qt to use FreeType. While reviewing Qt options I also found a way to make the window title bars dark if the user chose a dark theme. I enabled this as well. Finally I moved files used for the Windows installer to dist/windows in an effort to organize that folder.

My first test run on msys2 didn't get the .conf file installed. I'm trying again. |
