    I'm using a slightly larger than default font size for my table headers

    my_table->horizontalHeader()->setStyleSheet( QString( "QHeaderView { font-size: 12px; }" )
    

    which results in some letters being cropped at the bottom (g, j,...).
    I don't want to set a fixed height for the header, since it introduces issues on high-DPI screens. Is there a way to have the QHeaderView adapt its height to the text, like a QPushButton does?
    If the answer is "custom paint()", I'll rather remove all the g's and j's from my header texts, haha... ;(

        Ok, the bug seems to be not exactly your problem but maybe related. Can you please provide a complete minimal testcase to reproduce the issue? What OS and Qt version do you use?
