A common source of issues is that people do not consider that fonts can have fractional metrics and use QFontMetrics for UI purposes, causing bounds and eliding to be inaccurate. This is not very surprising, since the class name sounds very much like what you should prefer by default and the docs didn't even contain links to the QFontMetricsF class. It might make sense to deprecate the class, since it really does not serve any useful purpose, but for now we at least document the issue up-front so that users can easily find the alternative.
