It looks like on Aug 9, 2013 1:17 PM the status of this bug has been updated to "Abandoned". Another link is provided as a problem bug to be solved first but the link is a dead one now : HTTP Error 404 Not found.

Author Dmitry Shachnev : The !qpa check must probably be replaced with something else (!mobile?), but I'm not sure about that.
Reviewer Oswald Buddenhagen : I would prefer that you didn't submit this
you didn't add reviewers, so you didn't get a review so far ...
please split the patch into atomic commits (basically, one per bullet point).
Author Dmitry Shachnev : Sorry, I just didn't have time to finish this — qtconfig didn't actually save most of settings.
I'm not going to enable qtconfig until that issue is solved, so the only part that makes sense to be done now is the second one — pushed as https://codereview.qt-project.org/62702.
Author Dmitry Shachnev : Abandoned.

We are nowhere close to see anything coming then.

This means that we can't set the default font and font size for all Qt5 apps in Ubuntu / Debian like we used to with Qt4. The App was Qt 4 Settings and the package was qt4-qtconfig ...

This is quite annoying as from the end user I don't know where Qt5 is picking up its default font and font size. In my case it's way too big a size.

Qt now uses the system font, which you can usually set using the System Settings.

Last time I looked at qtconfig, it was broken (i.e. most of the settings did not work). I don't have time (or need) to look at it again, sorry.

Perhaps providing a package (even a PPA) of http://qt-apps.org/content/show.php/Qt5+Configuration+Tool?content=168066 might help. (See also http://askubuntu.com/a/574866/170127)
