Description RJVB 2014-10-16 23:42:03 UTC

The settings dialog for the "localMail of type MBox" account type doesn't respect the KDE font settings

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. configure fonts, e.g. Novarese Bk Bt Medium 11 pt as the general font
2. open the settings of a (newly added or not) "LocalMail of type MBox" account in kmail or kontact


Actual Results:  
The majority of the text shown in the dialog (QLabels?) is set in what looks like Lucida Grande 13pt, which happens to be the default font on OS X.

Expected Results:  
The dialog should be set in my general font (or any of the other fonts configured via System Settings).

This is most likely a Qt error, but it's the first time I see it in a KDE app.
See the screenshot: Qt4 is set to use the same font as KDE but even the QtConfig settings dialog doesn't respect that setting.

This bug has only been reported for versions before 4.14, which have been unsupported for at least two years now. Can anyone tell if this bug still present?

If noone confirms this bug for a Framework-based version of kdepim (version 5.0 or later, as part of KDE Applications 15.08 or later), it gets closed in about three months.

Just as announced in my last comment, I close this bug. If you encounter it again in a recent version (at least 5.0 aka 15.08), please open a new one unless it already exists. Thank you for all your input.
