Description Dave Russell 2009-02-16 20:37:52 UTC

Description of problem:
Running qcad on a low resolution screen (1024x768 or lower) you will find that the font sizes in the application are far too large.

Now qcad is a qt4 application but running qtconfig-qt4 and altering the font sizes does not modify the sizes of the fonts used within the application.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
This was found using F11-Alpha but the same problems exist in F10 as well.

qcad-2.0.5.0-8.fc10.i386

How reproducible:
Every time without fail.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install qcad on a machine with a screen resolution of 1024x768 or lower.
2. Observe that the fonts within the application user interface are too large.
3. Attempt to change them using qtconfig-qt4 (and restart the application).
4. Observe that there is no change to the applications font size.
  
Actual results:
Really big fonts on a low resolution screen.

Expected results:
Smaller fonts on a low resolution screen, or at least it should be configurable.

Comment 1 Gérard Milmeister 2009-02-16 22:16:11 UTC

No, qcad is qt3.

Comment 2 Dave Russell 2009-02-17 09:11:03 UTC

Ahh ok, so that explains why the changes I make in qtconfig-qt4 don't have any effect.

So, is there a set of files I need to modify for the qt3 information with Fedora?

Comment 3 Dave Russell 2009-02-17 10:09:46 UTC

Or (obviously) some settings I can modify in the qcad config files?

Comment 4 Rex Dieter 2009-02-17 15:49:47 UTC

yum install qt3-config

and run:  qtconfig

NOTE: qt apps will respect DE font settings if run inside a KDE desktop.

Comment 5 Dave Russell 2009-02-20 09:01:15 UTC

Yup that all works a treat, many thanks!
