Where is the Qt conf file in the KDevelop AppImage?

I'm a bit confused. qt.conf is typically for plugin paths etc, not for
appearance; I don't think it is loaded from any global location, and in
addition we do not ship one, nor do we change the search paths for
anything related.

I wasn't aware that you could even change fonts using any Qt-related
config file in Qt5. Are you sure this is not Qt4-only? Also, are you
sure this is not a debian-only thing?

It doesn't, at least if I'm not completely mistaken.

Eventually you can do something with the fonts.conf stuff, but I never
used that.

You cannot easily make the AppImage load a style from your system
without patching it, because that style plugin is not guaranteed to be
binary-compatible with the Qt version we ship.

Greetings,
