I haven't looked at the code, but perhaps Qt does not find the font
specified in the code and uses whatever is the default fall-back.

I moved to using the free font
Inconsolat(http://levien.com/type/myfonts/inconsolata.html) to achieve
the same results on all platforms in QtOctave. You can ship it with the
GUI and have it always use this font which is stored in a local folder
(so it does not have to be installed on the user's system).
