@jonasschnelli Should this be considered a bugfix? |

Unsure about this. |
How is it so? I think both |
I'd say *.ui is view, *.cpp is controller (the non-automatic generated ones). |
Right. But Qt programming usually assumes "the view and the controller objects are combined" (https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/model-view-programming.html). |

I'm personally still lean to embedding font as it makes the GUI more stable.
