Problem when naming the pushbutton as reset

Hi,

I am seeing a weird problem. When I am naming my push button as "Reset", in the emulator its showing gap between "R" and "e" as if additional space has been provided.
resetButton = new QPushButton(tr("Reset"), Central);
I also tried using setText but have the same effect. I dont have any problem when named differently.
Any idea what might be the problem.

Thanks.

Just tried this and can't reproduce what your seeing.
Maybe it is related to the style or font you may be using (global) or otherwise? Just a thought.

Junior,

Thanks for the reply. I am using Qt 4.6.3 with Symbian 3 emulator. I am using the default font family. However I am using the font with size 4
font.setPointSize(4). In this case the space looks too odd. When I changed the name to "reset" its little better.

I tried with out any size i.e using default font size then its better but still its not normal.
I have attached both the buttons. Do you have the same way as it is shown in 1st attachment.

What style are you using? CleanLooks, Windows, other...?

I am using with Carbide on windows. Also I am not using QtDesigner.
Apart that I didn't specify any other style.

I'm not using symbian so I can't replicate this. However I would add some debug lines in to show what font information is being used (font, pitch, size, etc... ). It may be that setting a font StyleStrategy like QFont::NoFontMerging might clear that up. Qt uses a best guess when it can't figure out pitch or font size and sometimes this isn't always the best answer like in your case here. Best I can offer.

Thanks anyways junior. I am new to Qt and still in learning phase. I will try with what you suggested.
Also just wondering whether do you have any comments on the questions I asked here:
Adding app icon in status pane

Can you just let me know if you have any suggestions/hints on those.
