Can't change font-style or font-weight for anything other than QPushButton using style sheets?

CJha

Hi, I have been trying to implement :hover and :checked state for different widgets using Style Sheets:

QPushButton:hover, QPushButton:checked{color: red; font-style: oblique};
QCheckBox:hover, QCheckBox:checked{color: red; font-style: oblique};
QRadioButton:hover, QRadioButton:checked{color: red; font-style: oblique};
QSpinBox:hover{color: red; font-style: oblique};
QLineEdit:hover{color: red; font-style: oblique};

The change in color appears for all widgets but the change in font-style only appears for QPushButton, why?

When only parts of an stylesheet get applied the reason can be, that there is an error in the stylesheet. Then only the top part will be parsed and it stops parsing at the line where the error is. Can you first check if the stylesheet itself is valid?

@gde23 Yes, I think it is valid because if it would not be then the change in color: red would not appear for all the widgets. And what I have shown in my question is the entire stylesheet that I am applying.

Hi
I also fiddle with it for a bit and QLineEdit
seems to totally ignore font changes.

The docs says font-style should work for any QWidget that repects QFont but
clearly, it does not.
