Separate fonts for GUI and documents

[anouarg88]

Hello!

I love QualCoder and have been covertly preaching to my colleagues about it for some time now. 😁 One issue I'm struggling with, however, is fonts. Seeing as many qualitative transcription conventions use equidistant fonts which don't look too good on user interfaces (especially if you work with non-Latin transcripts, e.g. Chinese), I was wondering if anyone is working on separate font settings for GUI and the document viewer?
I am not familiar with the codebase, but seeing as the font size can be configured separately for documents and UI in the settings dialog, would it be possible to add a similar setting for document font?

Please let me know if/how I can contribute to this in any way!

Cheers!

Hi.
I think it's possible. It's a good idea !

@anouarg88 Yes I think this will be possible. I'm thinking most users won't want this, but I can add a 'hidden' right-click option.

E.g. left- or right-click on the Tt label to open a font selection window.

Once the font is changed, it would need to be tested (ideally by you with your different language documents - Chinese) to show that the line numbers, and an upcoming vertical coding stripes display, are not affected negatively.

@ccbogel That sounds good! A hidden option would work – maybe mentioned in the label's tooltip? I could imagine a dedicated drop down in the settings or right next to the Tt label as well. Either way, I look forward to testing this!

In my opinion, it's can be in visible option. We can have the possibility to have the font system for the UI, and specitic font for the working space, e.g for accessibility?
