I have an application that will be running on both a Mac and on Windows, and due to font size differences I've added the following code to override the default settings that come from developing on both OSs.

Qt Code: 
  1. //***************************/
  2.    //*  Windows-only fonts...  */
  3.    //***************************/
  4. #ifdef Q_OS_WIN
  5.      QFont newFont("Lucida Sans", 9, QFont::Normal, false);
  6.      QApplication::setFont(newFont);
  7.  
  8.      QFont newFont2("Lucida Sans", 8, QFont::Normal, false);
  9.      ui->Calc1LB->setFont(newFont2);
  10.      ui->Calc2LB->setFont(newFont2);
  11. #else
  12.    //***********************/
  13.    //*  Mac-only fonts...  */
  14.    //***********************/
  15.      QFont newFont("Lucida Grande", 12, QFont::Normal, false);
  16.      QApplication::setFont(newFont);
  17.  
  18.      QFont newFont2("Lucida Grande", 11, QFont::Normal, false);
  19.      ui->Calc1LB->setFont(newFont2);
  20.      ui->Calc2LB->setFont(newFont2);
  21. #endif
To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

For Windows, this resetting works perfectly for *every* widget but for some reason only works for part of the widgets on my Mac, like line edits and tab headers, but not labels or pushbutton text. I have reset the default fonts just to make sure I hadn't missed any but if that was the case then it wouldn't work on Window.

I can resize the widgets if need be so that my text doesn't get truncated but I'd rather not do that.

Any suggestions? thanks!
