Tha would be great! As for the size, I don't know. In the screenshots of 
KLettres
http://edu.kde.org/klettres/screenshots.phtml
this is size 80 for the default font on my system.
(I put QFont("courrier") in the code and as courrier is mispelled, the system 
takes a default font and uses the size I want. If I ask for times 80, I get 
times 33 only.)

It seems that on other systems 80 is far too big.
I guess that 48 is quite good for klettres on all systems.

Thanks a lot for your help,
