Hi all,

I just installed vbox, and I have found that the interface font (menu, dialog, etc) are not the same as the ones I set in kde4 and qtconfig-qt4.
Is there any work around to change the interface font of vbox ?

Cheers

When I change the font in qtconfig-qt4 from sans-serif to segoui, the VB window changes it's font too. Are you sure you saved the settings? Does other Qt4 apps change the font (like SMPlayer and Qtconfig-qt4)?

the other applicantions' font follows the setting, but not vbox........

Which VirtualBox version are you using and under which Host system?

I know only the generic PUEL version and this uses its own versions of the Qt-Libraries, so I could well imagine that it ignores configuration changes in the installed system libraries.

Followup to my own message. I tried it now also out on my system with the result that changes made with my Qt4 qtconfig are immediately reflected in all my vbox windows.

I found also that the personal configurations are stored in a file ~/.config/Trolltech.conf, which is obviously honored by both sets of QT libraries.

So it looks like your problem is somehow specifc to your system.
