Xfce system font problem

Hello

I have a problem with some programs not displaying correct system fonts on menus etc.

For example - I have installed qBittorrent and when i open the program, everywhere in the program there are handwritten fonts, which are very hard to read. Also another DJ program called Mixxx has the same problem. All other programs are ok.

What is the problem and how to fix it? I have also installed default MS and Google fonts, but still those handwritten fonts everywhere.

Best wishes,
Andres

Thanks for quick reply.

Is there a way to fix it?

Why these programs doesn't use same normal system font as other programs?

Re: Xfce system font problem

Wiki is pretty straightforward.

This method is easier if you prefer:

Just install qt5ct and add QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME="qt5ct" to your environment variables and tweak it with the app.
