Description

Hi I'm trying to replace the typeface as per documentation - doesn't seem to work on Windows 11. The Qss works as described around here. The typeface is stuck to Microsoft typeface, bold styling works. Helvetica or this ugly typeface are not recognized.

Start by reproducing the documented typeface replacement on Windows 11 and inspect how the QSS styling is applied. The issue is resolved when Helvetica or another selected typeface is used instead of the Microsoft typeface while bold styling continues to work.
