+    \qmlproperty enumeration QtQuick::Text::font.hintingPreference
+    \since 5.8
+
+    Sets the preferred hinting on the text. This is a hint to the underlying text rendering system
+    to use a certain level of hinting, and has varying support across platforms. See the table in
+    the documentation for QFont::HintingPreference for more details.
+
+    \note This property only has an effect when used together with render type Text.NativeRendering.
+
+    \list
+    \value Font.PreferDefaultHinting - Use the default hinting level for the target platform.
+    \value Font.PreferNoHinting - If possible, render text without hinting the outlines
+           of the glyphs. The text layout will be typographically accurate, using the same metrics
+           as are used e.g. when printing.
+    \value Font.PreferVerticalHinting - If possible, render text with no horizontal hinting,
+           but align glyphs to the pixel grid in the vertical direction. The text will appear
+           crisper on displays where the density is too low to give an accurate rendering
+           of the glyphs. But since the horizontal metrics of the glyphs are unhinted, the text's
+           layout will be scalable to higher density devices (such as printers) without impacting
+           details such as line breaks.
+    \value Font.PreferFullHinting - If possible, render text with hinting in both horizontal and
+           vertical directions. The text will be altered to optimize legibility on the target
+           device, but since the metrics will depend on the target size of the text, the positions
+           of glyphs, line breaks, and other typographical detail will not scale, meaning that a
+           text layout may look different on devices with different pixel densities.
