Default Fixed Width Font in Qt

Question

Is there a cross-platform way to get the user preferred fixed and proportional fonts in Qt?

For example, Cocoa has

NSFont *proportional = [NSFont userFontOfSize:12.0f]; NSFont *fixed_width = [NSFont userFixedPitchFontOfSize:12.0f]; 

I would like to find an equivalent in Qt that works on Mac, Linux, and Windows.

Using the QFontDatabase systemFont (..) function, you can get

• system default font
• fixed default font
• font "title"
• smallest readable font

Example:

 const QFont fixedFont = QFontDatabase::systemFont(QFontDatabase::FixedFont) 

Introduced in Qt 5.2
