Created attachment 120571 [details] screenshot Font is displayed very bad, characters are twice the width
It seems you have selected a proportional font as system font for "Fixed width" fonts. So the view adapts to the widest character in the set of characters glyphs from the font displayed, resulting in what you currently see. Seems the font has some glyph whose metadata has info about being very wide, thus the spacing (just think about "m m m m m" compared to "i i i i"). Having a proportional font set as "Fixed width" font is not expected in general, at least by its name :) Are you using Plasma? If so, please open System Settings, then select "Fonts", then see in the "Fonts" page which font is selected for "Fixed width". If you are not using Plasma, what is your workspace environment?
Hi, I'm using LXQT. I also have systemsettings installed but the font tab isn't there
No idea about configuring LXQt, sorry. From a quick grep over LXQt sources on github, the only thing I found was https://github.com/lxqt/lxqt-qtplugin/blob/master/src/lxqtplatformtheme.cpp#L129 which hints you can at least try to control this by directly editing the lxqt config file and setting a respective entry for "fixedFont". No idea where the file actually is and what to enter exactly. So, from Okteta's POV not a real bug, thus closing now. If you found a GUI option for LXQT or how to exactly manually configure this in the settings file, please leave a note so I could tell any other person running into the same situation.
Perhaps this helps you, similar issue with Konsole & LXQt, which has an example how to edit the config file in this comment (search for fixedFont="Monospace,10,-1,5,50,0,0,0,0,0"): https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1330150#c11
Besides not having another search hit in the sources, the wiki of LXQt also suggests that the LXQt settings application misses the idea of a default fixedfont option, from what I learned at https://github.com/simoniz0r/guides/wiki/LXQt-Appearance-Settings suggests So seems one has to do manual editing of the file ~/.config/lxqt/lxqt.conf and add something like this to the "[Qt]" section: fixedFont="Monospace,10,-1,5,50,0,0,0,0,0" If you like some other font, currently no good idea how to find out what exact data one has to set there. Best bug the lxqt people about it, this is some missing feature in their UI control application.
It worked :D
