      The gcc compiler outputs error messages like:

      ../SpeedTest/main.cpp:57:48: error: no matching function for call to 'QVector<NoPimpl>::insert(int&, SimplePimpl)'
          vecNP.insert(foundId, SimplePimpl(val,0.));
                                                   ^

      using ASCII art for the '^' position taking monospaced font into account.

      A shortcut to see the error output of the compiler is to hover the mouse pointer over the "red exclamation mark". This pops up a tooltip showing the error text of the compiler.
      However, this tooltip text is rendered with proportional font, destroying the ASCII art of the text: the '^' indicator points to the wrong place ....

      Using the same font as in the output panel should solve the issue.
