I'm not sure what you are referring to specifcally here. You are talking about *vertical* aligment, expecting the center of the wavy line to connect the center of the noteheads? That may not make sense if the notes are not on the same line - and normally, of course, they would not be. Placement for glissandi on different notes looks fine to me in general.

Or maybe you are referring to the little artifacts you can see *within* the wavy line in your screenshot? I don't see that on Linux, but I know that Qt often rounds certain values on Windows that produce little discrepancies like that.

Either way, it seems fairly minor to me?

I am referring to the artifacts inside the line, due to horizontal misalignments between the characters composing the line (kerning problem?). It happens for Emmentaler also for other lines (e.g. trills, Up/Downprall lines) and for some lines of Gonville, but not for Bravura.
