  • 0

We develop an embedded Qt application for linux on MS Windows. The target platform is linux without X-windows (framebuffer). Unfortunallety, the screens on windows look rather different (better) than the same screens on linux because windows has better fonts. Is there a way to force Qt on windows to use the linux fonts? I would like to achieve binary compatibility i.e. CRCs of the screenshots will be the same in linux and in windows.

  1. You can use QFontDatabase::addApplicationFont to load a font from a file or from memory (QByteArray). The returned id can be used to retrieve a list of font families (see QFontDatabase::applicationFontFamilies) that can be passed to QFontDatabase::font to create a QFont object for use in your application.

    Only TrueType fonts are supported.
