label->setFont() ?

Try QFontDatabase from Qt C++ or FontLoader from QML :)

Try:

cool, thanks

@Chuck:I have tried these two methods and it doesn’t work on symbian
The first method always return -1
I am using Qt 4.7.3

Chuck, I think it’s important to know whether QT C++ uses True Type Fonts already installed in the user’s computer or if we can deploy our chosen TTF, to be used in a computer that doesn’t have this TTF previously installed.

It seems a stupid doubt, but QT docs aren’t clear enough – specially for beginners, like me. I don’t know if I can use a specially designed personal TTF in my software (it would make my life easier, by using only Text Classes) or if I have to use bitmap images to get the exact text design I want in all plataforms.

As there are differences about TTF handling in Linux… and also because sometimes we need to use a special TTF in our programs, TTF deployment without the need to install a new font in the target computer would be a very useful feature to me.

I don’t want to use QML – I am too old to learn a new language. In my old times, C++ was tough enough to be learned and in the present, I confess that QT libraries are being almost too much to be explored by a STL-er. :)

What can you and other experts say about?

Try:

1. int QFontDatabase::addApplicationFont ( const QString & fileName ) [static]
2. QStringList QFontDatabase::applicationFontFamilies ( int id ) [static]

@import QtQuick 1.0

Column { FontLoader { id: fixedFont; name: “Courier” } FontLoader { id: webFont; source: “http://www.mysite.com/myfont.ttf” } Text { text: “Fixed-size font”; font.family: fixedFont.name } Text { text: “Fancy font”; font.family: webFont.name } }@
