Method of selecting a sane font


Message 1 in thread

Hi, Is there a standard way to select a sane application font?

I'm using this code to pick my fonts (able to override by the user, but 
I need sane defaults to start with).

    QFont df ("");
    df.setFixedPitch (false);
    df.setItalic (false);
    df.setBold (false);
    df.setPointSize (10);
    df.setStrikeOut (false);
    df.setUnderline (false);
    app.setFont (df);
   
Later on, I use the exact same code, except I set the setFixedPitch 
parameter to true because the widget needs a fixed width font.

The problem is that this code doesn't seem to work. The font it picks is 
nasty looking, and the rawName() returns "Multi" on my Debian laptop.
