<![CDATA[Reformulated: labels and buttons don't inherit font properties on Mac]]>Hello,

While porting my Windows application to Mac, I notices an inconsistent behaviour:

While I can change the font size on Windows for my whole application with

qApplication->setFont(newFont);

this doesn't work for label and button widgets on Mac (but works fine for checkboxes for instance). I am wondering if this might be a bug or a feature?

I of course made sure that all widgets have default parameters for the font in their properties.

Thanks!

I solved my problem with following line of code:
@
qApplication->setStyleSheet("QPushButton { font: 10px} QLabel { font: 10px} QLineEdit { font: 10px} QCheckBox { font: 10px} QGroupBox { font: 10px} QComboBox { font: 10px} QListWidget { font: 10px} QRadioButton { font: 10px}");
@
(Globally setting the font size ( qApplication->setFont(newFont) )would not affect all the widget types on Mac)
