It's only been a few days, but so far I'm liking them much better. The
easiest way to try it out by adding a new section to the start of the qt
stylesheet:
* {
font-family: @font-family-ui;
font-size: @font-size-ui;
}
This section will apply to any Qt object that doesn't have its own font
properties specified. Of course, you need to define the new logical
properties:
@string font-family-ui = "Segoe UI", Verdana, sans-serif
@string font-size-ui = 9.5pt
Sans-serif looks fine to me on all the Linux VMs I've tried so far. The
others are Windows fonts that everyone will have by now. I think Verdana
looks good, but Segoe UI is more compact and works better in small font
sizes.
Then go through the stylesheet and remove all font family and size
properties except of course on the body itself (QTextEdit {...}). I keep
getting surprised by how many hard font settings had gotten scattered
throughout the stylesheet. Just get rid of them.
This will get you most of the way there. You may have to tinker with the
size to get it to suit you, and you may need to adjust some paddings,
margins, and the gutter font size and y-adjust, but these are all fine
tunings.
