I'd like to add a QStandardFonts class (e.g. [1], completely open to discussion) and a FixedFont to the QPlatformThemes::Font enum. Do you guys would be interested in me working in this direction? I'd say it's interesting because it lets applications integrate with what the system is supposed to look like. Qt already is doing this for widgets internally, giving (some of) that data will definitely be useful for applications as well. Aleix [1] class QStandardFonts { public: QFont defaultFont(); QFont fixedFont(); QFont toolBarFont(); QFont menuFont(); QFont windowTitleFont(); QFont smallestReadableFont(); }
