[Qt-interest] QFont - Sans Serif and Monospace for all Plattforms

[Louis Hoefler]

I dont know if this helps but:
http://hivelogic.com/articles/top-10-programming-fonts/
http://www.lowing.org/fonts/
You could simply define the default Monospace font on windows. If you 
run the programm on linux or apple systems you would have to use the 
different equivalent.

You can also install Microsoft font packages. This is a debian example:

Howevery, I do not know weather this package includes Monospace fonts.

Greetings, Louis
