      Creator picks up the system font.
      You can specify the editor font here.

        You can use a stylesheet to achieve this.

        For exmple my fonts.css looks like this:

        QWidget
        {
          font: 11pt;
        }
        

        You only need to pass this to Qt Creator via command line like:

        $ ./qtcreator -stylesheet fonts.css
        

        Qt Creator went from this default view:
        alt text
        to this one:
        alt text

            @JacobNovitsky Like @cristian-adam posted you pass it as parameter to QtCreator when you start it:

            ./qtcreator -stylesheet fonts.css

              j@j-BOHB-WAX9:~$ qtcreator -stylesheet fonts.css
              QCss::Parser - Failed to load file "fonts.css"
              QCss::Parser - Failed to load file "fonts.css"

              j@j-BOHB-WAX9:~$ qtcreator -stylesheet /home/j/font.css
