QtCreator 17.0.2 Font Issue in Qt Creator Documentation

[Dany11]

Hi,

It is a while I'm trying to fix this issue : the font in Qt Creator Documentation makes the documentation unreadable, I tried to change it via "Edit->Preference->Help> Font->Family without success.

On Ubuntu 24.04.03 LTS , with the installer found on this website (BTW same issue with the qtcreator from Ubuntu)

Some can help ?

Thank you in advance,

D.

On my Linux ubuntu-2404 6.8.0-85-generic #85-Ubuntu SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Thu Sep 18 15:21:04 UTC 2025 aarch64 aarch64 aarch64 GNU/Linux it looks fine:

But I'm running KDE.

Looks fine here on Ubuntu 24.04 / ARM too.
The font setting in the options is only the fallback font if the html page itself doesn't specify a font.
The .css for the Qt Creator documentation sets

font: normal 400 14px/1.2 Arial;
font-family: Arial, Helvetica;

on the whole, and Verdana at some other places. Maybe there is some weird font matching going on on your computer?

You can check if switching to the "QTextBrowser" based backend makes a difference: Edit > Preferences > Help > General > Viewer Backend > QTextBrowser
