[Development] QFont::setFamily("monospace") on OS X

[René J . V . Bertin]

Hello,

Not sure if this is the best place to ask:
I think QFont::setFamily("monospace") should allow to obtain an appropriate 
monospace font on all platforms. It does with the XCB QPA , giving me the 
Consolas font (ideally it should return the fixed-width font that goes with the 
active (platform) style, though).
On OS X with the cocoa QPA however, this gives Lucida Grande, i.e. the system 
fallback font.

I suppose that's a bug, or is there a reason why this doesn't work as expected?

Cf: https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-50564

Possibly, but that function takes a font type, not a family name. So it's 
probably the culprit only if it is called with the FixedFont type after someone 
did setFamily("monospace").

Perhaps QPlatformTheme::font() is related.
