Hello, I want to know if the font of the text in PLECS can be changed. I noticed that my classmate’s font is different from mine—his is SimSun (宋体), while mine is Microsoft YaHei (黑体). Is this due to the computer system itself?

PLECS does not set a font directly. It sets a style hint (“Sans Serif”) and tells the GUI library (Qt) to find a matching font. The resulting font depends on the system and the installed fonts. I wouldn’t know how to change it.

For details, you may want to read the documentation for [QFont](https://doc.qt.io/qt-6/qfont.html) and the corresponding [style hints.](https://doc.qt.io/qt-6/qfont.html#StyleHint-enum)
