Indeed. This is the option I'm moving forward with, unless somebody else has
a more elegant solution.
Knowing that the fonts are sufficiently different across platforms (and
consequently mess up the visual aesthetic of the interface), I would think
adding something to the UI file format to address it (e.g., "<platform
id='Q_OS_WIN'>" embedded under the "<font>" tag?) would be the most elegant
approach.
Thanks, René.
