How to get the systems default sans serif monospace font?

[GeraldBrandt]

Hi,

Under Linux, when I create font and setFixedPitch on it, and get a nice monospaced font with no serifs. Under Windows I get Courier New. If I set styleHint() the font changes to non-fixed width.

How can I get a fixed-width (monospaced) non-serif font under Windows (actually, all platforms).

This doesn't work:

QFont font("Mono", 12);
font.setFixedPitch(true);
font.setStyleHint(QFont::SansSerif);

Hi,

You should add which version of Qt you are using on each platform.

Sorry, 5.14.1, I believe..

I just told both Linux and Windows to load the Consolas font, and it works. Linux uses Deja Vu Sans Mono instead.
