Bug Description
I use qt5ct to configure the font of qt apps. I also set:
export QT_AUTO_
export QT_QPA_
Even with the auto scaling factor, the default qt font is tiny in my hidpi screen, so I have to increase its size from qt5ct from 10 to 11 or 12. Now, this is all lost in the isolated snap environment so, in brief, I'm unable to reasonably run *any* qt app. This is not a matter of fancy themes, it's a basic matter of accessibility.
This report was motivated by the inability to properly install and run Anki in Ubuntu 19.04:
1. The deb package is broken (there is a bug filed for this but unattended as of today).
2. The flatpak and the snap packages use a tiny font and it doesn't seem to be possible to change it.
I have posted about this in Ubuntu discourse too: https:/

Do you know of any workaround? Is it possible to somehow get qt5ct installed inside the snap runtime?
