    Hello all!

    I'm writing a texteditor in qt (4.8.5) mainly for learning. The problem I'm facing is that qtextedit changes it's font once all of the text is deleted. Is there a way for me to disable that feature and set a document wide font? I want to have monospace font in order to calculate the cursor position (line/char). I set the font by

    @
    QTextEdit *editor = new QTextEdit();
    editor->acceptRichText(false);
    editor->setCurrentFont(QFont("Monospace", 10));
    @

    The reason I'm using qtextedit instead of qplaintext is for syntax highlighting and text completion (which I haven't implemented yet).

    SOLUTION:
    @
    QTextEdit *editor = new QTextEdit();
    ((QWidget *)editor)->setFont(QFont("Monospace", 10));
    @

      Hi,

      You should use setFont, setCurrentFont is used to change the font "starting now" in your document.
