We do not support tab bars since we think they just do not scale to the number 
of documents you have open in an IDE. So such a bar is a waste of space.

Having said that: How can you navigate your open documents in Qt Creator?

There is a drop-down list of open editors in the top bar of the editor itself.

You can have a list of "open documents" in the side bar (Alt-O to trigger that 
if it is not visible already).

You can also Ctrl-Tab to get a pop-up with the last-opened documents (and 
Ctrl-Tab/Shift-Ctrl-Tab to go back and forth in that popup.

There is navigation history (Alt-Left/Right) to go back to the places you had 
visited before (inside the same document and on to documents you had open 
earlier).

And of course there is Ctrl-K, the locator, which makes it really easy to jump 
to any file/class/method/whatever, independently of whether those were open 
before or not.

Of course there also are the "switch header/source" (F4) and "follow symbol" 
(F2), but those are more code navigation than open document navigation.

No idea what the mac uses as default fonts, sorry. But at least for some output 
panes you can nowadays adjust the font size with the + and - icons in their top 
bar.
