Are we in a science fiction movie and I haven't noticed? 
Are you telling me that Windows, based on my hair color or my nails, decides which font to use?
I don't know what Qt6 is but I know that the problem is caused by the latest version of Caliber because the previous version shows the font that I use. So a change was made by the creators of Caliber which disabled the use of the font, I ask if it is possible to restore it. And please don't make me look like a madwoman asking for absurd and unattainable things. Otherwise I'll keep the old version of Caliber |
Qt is a software component that calibre uses to manage the user interface - windows, fonts, icons etc etc, etc. It is widely used by applications that run on multople platforms (Windows, Linux, Macs, Unix etc)
Amongst other things Windows makes its decisions regarding Substitute Fonts on what language settings you use. Microsoft have 'discontinued' the ongoing use of Substitute Fonts, the continued support for them is to allow older application software to continue to run.
If you look in the registry at this location:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\FontSubstitutes\MS Shell Dlg2 you will see which 'real' font is mapped to the substitute font MS Shell Dlg2. In my case it is Tahoma.
