Perhaps:

Okay, this makes sense - though at least the docs for 4.5.2 don't say what 
fixed pitch means (so far as I can find) - a google search revealed it 
in a Qt2 series doc to say they are the fonts are all the same with.

I tried to apply it as follows:

QFont labelFont = 
someLabelPointer->font();
labelFont.setFixedPitch(true);
someLabelPointer->setFont(labelFont);

However, I'm still running into the problem. I applied this to all the labels in the dialog in question.
Am I doing something wrong?

I did find the QTextFormat class which has QTextFormat::FontFixedPitch; however, I am finding an obvious way to use this class with a QLabel under Qt 4.5.1/4.5.2.
Am I missing something? Or do I need to convert my QLabel's to read-only QTextEdit?

TIA,

Ben
