<![CDATA[How to change the UI font in Qt Creator (not Text Editor font, but for Qt Creator itself)?]]>This is a relatively fresh install of Ubuntu 24.04 LTS running Xorg with Qt Creator 17.0.1...

I am OK with the fonts except when bold font is used ... I find them fuzzy and hard-to-read on my system.

Here is a screenshot of what I mean (the text in the red circles):

How would I go about changing this? Is it a Gnome thing? Anti-aliasing?

But you can achieve this task.

If you search this forum after "stylesheet" you will find some threads about this, how people tried to customize things back in the day 😀

Having tried your suggestion, which does affect the font used for most of the UI, I noticed that some elements which were originally in bold font now are displayed in regular font.

Is there a way perhaps to download the default style sheet used by Qt Creator so that a more fine-grained solution can be achieved?

qtcreator -stylesheet style.css

And such a style sheet file would look like:

QWidget
{
    font: 14pt "SF Pro";
}
