    Description

      With Qt6 alpha on KDE and the "kde" platform theme, Qt selects a non-optimal font style:

      The screenshot shows a qdbusviewer launched with QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME=kde under KDE 5.20 beta. The font is Roboto, and the style seems to be Extralight, which is super hard to read.

      Relevant font settings in ~/.config/kdeglobals:

      fixed=Monospace,10,-1,5,50,0,0,0,0,0
      font=Roboto,10,-1,5,50,0,0,0,0,0
      menuFont=Roboto,10,-1,5,50,0,0,0,0,0
      smallestReadableFont=Roboto,8,-1,5,50,0,0,0,0,0
      toolBarFont=Roboto,10,-1,5,50,0,0,0,0,0
      

      Note that the specified fonts do not specify any style.
