    Description

      I have a textEdit as part of a layout in my QMainWindow.

      I call the following (extracted, minimized example, real lines are longer, no real data in example):

      ui->textEdit->setHtml("<PRE>\n00 00000000\n00 1111----\n ----1111\n</PRE>\n");

      I assumed to get ("correct")

      00 00000000
      00 1111----
      ----1111

      (all lines end at same position, looks correct, at least on my system, here in bug tracker).

      But I get ("wrong", not real amount of characters, but it looks like this)

      00 00000000
      00 1111-- (each '-' is smaller, not fixed size)
      -1111 (each space and '' is smaller, not fixed size)

      It is correctly displayed on Windows, but wrong on Android (Nexus 7 (2012)).
      It looks like implementation on Android does not use fixed size font.

      I already tried additionally to set font of textEdit, e.g. by

      ui->textEdit->setStyleSheet("font: 9pt \"Courier\";");

      or

      QFont font("Monospace");
      font.setStyleHint(QFont::TypeWriter);
      ui->textEdit->setFont(font);

      It sometimes changes font or font size, but never looked to be a fixed size font on Android.

      I get the complete output as string from a big (already existing) subroutine,
      so it would be no solution to use something like a HTML table for each character,
      at least I think this is no acceptable solution to do this.

      I also tried <TT> or <CODE> without success.

      Any other idea?
