Now if I understand your need correctly you want the same font be used across all platforms, to have the same appearance (even if that brakes with font conventions on a specific platform), is that correct? So another option could be to ship a "well-behaving font" (*) with your app and set it up using http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qfontdatabase.html (a quick google research gave me the impression that Qt also checks in QTDIR/lib/fonts, at least the embedded Qt version - that path can probably be set relative to your application path, too). Cheers, Oliver (*) All relevant name fields are in english and the font lookup is known to work on all relevant platforms; check with your local lawyer for font distribution rights! _______________________________________________ Interest mailing list Interest@qt-project.org http://lists.qt-project.org/mailman/listinfo/interest
