[Interest] Modifying the font metrics ("leading" and "tracking") everywhere

[Atlant Schmidt]

Folks:

  We've got a classic-QT (C++) application that runs under Qt 4.8.4
  using QWS.

  One of the fonts we use appears to have excessive interline
  spacing (leading) and (perhaps) excessive inter-character
  spacing (its "tracking" could be tighter).

  We'd like to affect these parameters every place that the font
  is used (e.g., QPushbuttons, QTextBlocks, QLabels, etc.) but I'm
  not sure where to begin. QFontMetrics has plenty of methods for
  accessing the associated metrics but I don't see how to modify
  (tune) the metrics.

  I'd appreciate your help and especially an example!

                                   Atlant


P.S.: Google isn't especially helpful here because so many of
         the keywords involved (leading, tracking, spacing, and the
         like) are homonyms with more-common meanings.
