Re: application fonts
Reply #1 –
Welcome! Qt 5 is supposed to follow desktop settings, but I guess that doesn't always work out okay. In my case this does the trick to make Otter use my desktop's font and color scheme, but I should point out I use Xfce:
$ ./otter-browser -style=gtk
I think it looks slightly less native than my Qt4 apps, but certainly less foreign than it does by default. For me the biggest problem is the font hinting issue, which should be fixed with the upcoming Qt 5.4 release.
If that doesn't do the trick you can also use stylesheets, but beyond being pleased at seeing the option I never actually investigated how you would apply them. I'm not talking about the reasonably obvious -stylesheet command line switch, but rather how you actually match up your selectors with the right widgets. Perhaps :root will do the trick to apply a style to the entire application, but I really couldn't say.
Anyway, I hope I've given you a little something to go on. The real Qt expert is obviously Emdek, not me.
