Description Veeti Paananen 2011-06-30 21:11:19 UTC 
Version:           unspecified (using KDE 4.5.4) 
OS:                MS Windows

KDE on Windows applications default to the Arial font. The default should be set to the native standard font in Windows, which is Tahoma in Windows XP [1] and Segoe UI in Windows Vista & above [2] instead.

Reproducible: Didn't try

Steps to Reproduce:
N/A


Expected Results:  
The right default fonts should be set according to Microsoft UX design guidelines

Dear Bug Submitter,

This bug has been stagnant for a long time. Could you help us out and re-test if the bug is valid in the latest version? I am setting the status to NEEDSINFO pending your response, please change the Status back to REPORTED when you respond.

Thank you for helping us make KDE software even better for everyone!

Thank you for helping us make KDE software even better for everyone!

I'm curious about WHAT specifically is unmaintained to justify closing this.  Although there is no longer a main KDE Windows installer, I would ask whether the font issue is present with any KDE programs compiled for Windows using Craft.  
Given the age of the ticket, and the lack of any follow-up, I'm guessing the original poster has no further interest, and my interest is purely out of curiosity, as I no longer have a Windows system to test (thus I'm leaving this closed.)

Anything Qt4-related.

I agree that anything Qt4 (and anything depending on it) is unsupported, but does this problem still exist with Frameworks (Qt5) versions?  Without the general KDE installer for Windows, I assume this is currently up to each application individually, so even more reason to close this as a generic issue.
