This might be two bugs. First, unless QFont is passed an empty string, "", to its constructor, then the TypeWriter and Monospace hints as well as the setFixedPitch(true) method are ignored.
Second, 5.1.1, actually performs worse returning variable width fonts in all but one case.
I've run the following code snippet using the listed Qt versions on OSX 10.8.5 and received the output below.
Expected result: I think every font returned should have been a fixed-width font.
qDebug() << qVersion() << QT_VERSION_STR;
{ QFont f;
f.setStyleHint(QFont::TypeWriter);
qDebug("%-15s %-15s %-20s %s", "QFont()", "TypeWriter", qPrintable(QFontInfo(f).family()), QFontInfo(f).fixedPitch() ? "fixed-width" : "variable");
}
{ QFont f("");
f.setStyleHint(QFont::TypeWriter);
qDebug("%-15s %-15s %-20s %s", "QFont(\"\")", "TypeWriter", qPrintable(QFontInfo(f).family()), QFontInfo(f).fixedPitch() ? "fixed-width" : "variable");
}
{ QFont f;
f.setStyleHint(QFont::Monospace);
qDebug("%-15s %-15s %-20s %s", "QFont()", "Monospace", qPrintable(QFontInfo(f).family()), QFontInfo(f).fixedPitch() ? "fixed-width" : "variable");
}
{ QFont f("");
f.setStyleHint(QFont::Monospace);
qDebug("%-15s %-15s %-20s %s", "QFont(\"\")", "Monospace", qPrintable(QFontInfo(f).family()), QFontInfo(f).fixedPitch() ? "fixed-width" : "variable");
}
{ QFont f;
f.setFixedPitch(true);
qDebug("%-15s %-15s %-20s %s", "QFont()", "setFixedPitch", qPrintable(QFontInfo(f).family()), QFontInfo(f).fixedPitch() ? "fixed-width" : "variable");
}
{ QFont f("");
f.setFixedPitch(true);
qDebug("%-15s %-15s %-20s %s", "QFont(\"\")", "setFixedPitch", qPrintable(QFontInfo(f).family()), QFontInfo(f).fixedPitch() ? "fixed-width" : "variable");
}
