Fonts in KDE applications under Gnome

#1 Post by rulet »

I tried to change font and size of font of kde applications like kdenlive or qt like vlc using qt4-qtconfig under Gnome but it didn't changed. What can be wrong, how to change the fonts? It's Debian 9.
Debian 10, 64 bit, Gnome 3.30.2, Intel Core i3-6100 CPU 3.70GHz, 8GB RAM.

Those are Qt5 programs in Stretch. Try installing qt5-styleplugins and then setting the line in /etc/environment as in https://wiki.manjaro.org/index.php?titl ... e_settings

If this does not help, I could port qt5ct over to Stretch in my own repo, since Debian will not package it for reasons. :cry:

You may also try installing KDE's "systemsettings" package and setting appearance to gtk and fonts in it, though it was pretty empty when I tried that until I installed plasma-desktop.

qt5ct helped for both to change fonts and style(to gtk) -- kdenlive and vlc. I installed qt5ct from this repo which is mentioned on the developer's page.
