[qt] Windows: Make rpcconsole monospace font larger

[maflcko]

Probably fixes #7017.

Merges fine into master and 0.12.

[jonasschnelli]

utACK for 0.12 (rc2) not sure if we want this for master/0.13 or if we should look for a better/alternative solution.

Build to test should be ready soon: https://bitcoin.jonasschnelli.ch/pulls/7364/

[maflcko]

Thanks for the binaries.

Even though this is ugly, I'd say it should be merged into master as well. Lacking a better solution, it doesn't make things worse and backports easier.

Why are we not using QFontInfo(fixedFontInfo).pointSize() here?

[maflcko]

@luke-jr dejavu #6864. (tl;dr too large)

[luke-jr]

Seems like QFont() has the same problems? Makes more sense to scale fixedFontInfo than to scale some other font's default size. Besides, we got that Qt5 thing since then?

Previously we had a "default font", so that's the reference. Though, you are welcome to change that.

Doesn't change anything for Windows or Linux. Only a different font for OS X.

Oh no, not more monospace related code changes. When are you guys going to give this up :-)

[jonasschnelli]

Tested ACK fa6a59d.
This is a quick and stable workaround and we should backport this to 0.12.
For 0.13 we need a better solution.

Current Master (to small on windows):

Current 0.11 version, non pretty, non mono (people are use to this font size):

I don't think this solution is acceptable in the longer term. We have to do one of these:

• Remove the #ifdef, just accept that the font is too big on some OSes (better too big than too small)
• Revert the console to proportional font as in 0.10.x
