get font style from main config

[ebisu4]

While font size changes, there's an issue with setting the font name. Help would be appreciated.

Example: Append the following to conf.toml located in one of the directories labeled accordingly Non-Tinas: $HOME/.config/piker/conf.toml Tinas: %AppData%\piker\conf.toml

Append:

[ui] font_size = 12 name = 'Monospace'

@ebisu4 thanks for starting this!

We've been needing someone to help bring up support on the windows front and getting (hidpi) related text and graphics sizing correct would sure be a good start 😂

I'm going to try this on linux and report back; i'm not sure i can comment on why a certain font wouldn't get used on windows.

Maybe there's something we can web search up to do with Qt that's a known hot tip?

@sirdinkus since afaik you would still be on windows, would you mind testing this out?

Ok on linux first try i get this:

@ebisu4 made a PR to fix your branch:

https://github.com/ebisu4/piker/pull/1

[goodboy]

I would add a section in the example config file

@iamzoltan i did in my sub-PR if you see https://github.com/ebisu4/piker/pull/1

Not sure why this got closed @ebisu4 but with my merged changed to your fork we should be able to get this tested quick by other devs 😎
