I see that on Windows, Designer defaults to the "MS Shell Dialog 2" 8-point font, and on OS X (Yosemite) it is ".Helvetical Neue DeskInterface" 13-point (in one field, while another oddly reports an "Al Bayan" typeface). I have found that changing the OS X interface to use "Lucida Grande" 11-point instead of ".Helvetical Neue DeskInterface" 13-point makes it very close to the Windows font appearance.
Now, I need to know the best way to make this function with my project. I can see a couple of options: 1. Maintain two UI files, one for each platform, each having their own custom font settings. 2. Add platform-aware code to the C++ file that manually changes the font for each UI component under OS X builds. Are there options that I missed? Perhaps, does the UI file format itself support platform-aware code? If I did not miss other potential solutions, which of the two is considered a "best practice" for normalizing the font appearance across platforms? Thanks. _______________________________________________ Interest mailing list Interest@qt-project.org http://lists.qt-project.org/mailman/listinfo/interest
