Description Nicolas Brisset 2004-09-21 10:42:20 UTC

Version:           1.0.0_devel (using KDE 3.3.0, compiled sources)
Compiler:          gcc version 3.3.2
OS:                SunOS (sun4u) release 5.8

It would be very nice to be able to choose the default font in the settings dialog. On my system, Helvetica seems to be broken and printing results in bargled labels. Changing all font settings can be done, but is somewhat cumbersome.

Kst chooses the default Qt font for its default font.  Is this not the case for you?  The recent FIXME was in code that's unused at this time.

Hi Nicolas,

Could you confirm that this problem exists in the latest build. In the past Kst used Helvetica by default, which didn't exist by default on several systems (e.g. RedHat 9). The default Qt font is now used, so this problem should have been addressed.

Comment 3 Nicolas Brisset 2004-10-19 11:00:09 UTC

OK, I have checked and it takes the KDE font. I tried to confirm the bug when George mentioned it should be fixed, but I changed the Qt options from qtconfig, and it didn't work. After some more experimenting, I found out it actually uses the KDE fonts :-)
... which means I can close it.
