Qt Creator and all application using Qt 5.6+: Fonts too small on 4K monitor
-
Hi!
I have:- 4K monitor at 3840x2160 60Hz.
- NVIDIA GTX 980 - (drivers ver. 367.27) on Ubuntu-MATE 16.04 - Cinnamon DE ver 3.0.5
- Qt Creator 4.0.1:
Based on Qt 5.6.1 (GCC 4.9.1 20140922 (Red Hat 4.9.1-10), 64 bit)
Built on Jun 6 2016 17:13:49
From revision 6863acfe91
QTCreator and any other QT based application i have tested, have fonts visualization of content and interface far too small.
Applications i'm using and i tested are: qBittorrent TeamSpeak3 and SMPlayer (but this one has HDPI switch built in that, when switched on, distorts horribly the geometry of interface itself).For QT4 there were qtconfig-qt4. Any tool like this for QT5 system-wide configuration?
There is a method to multiply or configure the size of fonts?
Thanks in advance. -
Hi and welcome to devnet,
IIRC, Qt Creator 4.0.2 has just been released, can you check against that version again ?

@SGaist I did a fresh install of qt-unified-linux-x64-2.0.3-1-online.run on a new Ubuntu-MATE 16.04 - Cinnamon DE ver 3.0.5.
QtCreator is in version 4.0.2 but the problem of small fonts on a 4K display (3840x2160) sadly reappeared.
I tried with the system global variables but seems problematic to manage fonts (i mean making them readable) for any qt5 applications.
Any clue? global variables seems not working at all.Having a 4K monitor and avoid to use it at max resolution is a non sense :)
Thanks in advance -

@KeithS thanks for the link.
I tried to set the global vars and all explained in the link but nothing equilibrated and visually acceptable.
I think the problem is related to the Cinnamon DE (3.0.5). Installing MATE 1.14.1, every QT* related applications follow perfectly the setup of fonts and interface aspect integrating perfectly all apps (QTCreator included) avoiding any use and forcing of global variables!
So, i strongly suggest to everyone had same type of interface problems on Linux to try MATE 1.14.1 Desktop Environment (fork of the well known Gnome 2). See: http://mate-desktop.org/.
Thanks a lot for everything!
