Detailed Description

\reentrant

The QFont class specifies a query for a font used for drawing text.

\inmodule QtGui

QFont can be regarded as a query for one or more fonts on the system.

When you create a QFont object you specify various attributes that you want the font to have. Qt will use the font with the specified attributes, or if no matching font exists, Qt will use the closest matching installed font. The attributes of the font that is actually used are retrievable from a QFontInfo object. If the window system provides an exact match exactMatch() returns true. Use QFontMetricsF to get measurements, e.g. the pixel length of a string using QFontMetrics::width().

Attributes which are not specifically set will not affect the font selection algorithm, and default values will be preferred instead.

To load a specific physical font, typically represented by a single file, use QRawFont instead.

Note that a QGuiApplication instance must exist before a QFont can be used. You can set the application's default font with QGuiApplication::setFont().

If a chosen font does not include all the characters that need to be displayed, QFont will try to find the characters in the nearest equivalent fonts. When a QPainter draws a character from a font the QFont will report whether or not it has the character; if it does not, QPainter will draw an unfilled square.

Create QFonts like this:

QFont serifFont("Times", 10, QFont::Bold);
QFont sansFont("Helvetica [Cronyx]", 12);

The attributes set in the constructor can also be set later, e.g. setFamily(), setPointSize(), setPointSizeF(), setWeight() and setItalic(). The remaining attributes must be set after construction, e.g. setBold(), setUnderline(), setOverline(), setStrikeOut() and setFixedPitch(). QFontInfo objects should be created after the font's attributes have been set. A QFontInfo object will not change, even if you change the font's attributes. The corresponding "get" functions, e.g. family(), pointSize(), etc., return the values that were set, even though the values used may differ. The actual values are available from a QFontInfo object.

If the requested font family is unavailable you can influence the \l{#fontmatching}{font matching algorithm} by choosing a particular \l{QFont::StyleHint} and \l{QFont::StyleStrategy} with setStyleHint(). The default family (corresponding to the current style hint) is returned by defaultFamily().

You can provide substitutions for font family names using insertSubstitution() and insertSubstitutions(). Substitutions can be removed with removeSubstitutions(). Use substitute() to retrieve a family's first substitute, or the family name itself if it has no substitutes. Use substitutes() to retrieve a list of a family's substitutes (which may be empty). After substituting a font, you must trigger the updating of the font by destroying and re-creating all QFont objects.

Every QFont has a key() which you can use, for example, as the key in a cache or dictionary. If you want to store a user's font preferences you could use QSettings, writing the font information with toString() and reading it back with fromString(). The operator<<() and operator>>() functions are also available, but they work on a data stream.

It is possible to set the height of characters shown on the screen to a specified number of pixels with setPixelSize(); however using setPointSize() has a similar effect and provides device independence.

Loading fonts can be expensive, especially on X11. QFont contains extensive optimizations to make the copying of QFont objects fast, and to cache the results of the slow window system functions it depends upon.

\target fontmatching The font matching algorithm works as follows: \list 1

• The specified font families (set by setFamilies()) are searched for.
• If not, a replacement font that supports the writing system is selected. The font matching algorithm will try to find the best match for all the properties set in the QFont. How this is done varies from platform to platform.
• If no font exists on the system that can support the text, then special "missing character" boxes will be shown in its place. \endlist

Note

If the selected font, though supporting the writing system in general, is missing glyphs for one or more specific characters, then Qt will try to find a fallback font for this or these particular characters. This feature can be disabled using QFont::NoFontMerging style strategy.

In Windows a request for the "Courier" font is automatically changed to "Courier New", an improved version of Courier that allows for smooth scaling. The older "Courier" bitmap font can be selected by setting the PreferBitmap style strategy (see setStyleStrategy()).

Once a font is found, the remaining attributes are matched in order of priority: \list 1

• fixedPitch()
• pointSize() (see below)
• weight()
• style() \endlist

If you have a font which matches on family, even if none of the other attributes match, this font will be chosen in preference to a font which doesn't match on family but which does match on the other attributes. This is because font family is the dominant search criteria.

The point size is defined to match if it is within 20% of the requested point size. When several fonts match and are only distinguished by point size, the font with the closest point size to the one requested will be chosen.

The actual family, font size, weight and other font attributes used for drawing text will depend on what's available for the chosen family under the window system. A QFontInfo object can be used to determine the actual values used for drawing the text.

Examples:

QFont f("Helvetica");

If you had both an Adobe and a Cronyx Helvetica, you might get either.

QFont f("Helvetica [Cronyx]");

You can specify the foundry you want in the family name. The font f in the above example will be set to "Helvetica [Cronyx]".

To determine the attributes of the font actually used in the window system, use a QFontInfo object, e.g.

QFontInfo info(f1);
QString family = info.family();

To find out font metrics use a QFontMetrics object, e.g.

QFontMetrics fm(f1);
int textWidthInPixels = fm.horizontalAdvance("How many pixels wide is this text?");
int textHeightInPixels = fm.height();

For more general information on fonts, see the \l{comp.fonts FAQ}{comp.fonts FAQ}. Information on encodings can be found from the \l{UTR17} page.

Capitalization

enum QFont::Capitalization

Since

4.4

Rendering option for text this font applies to.

\value MixedCase This is the normal text rendering option where no capitalization change is applied. \value AllUppercase This alters the text to be rendered in all uppercase type. \value AllLowercase This alters the text to be rendered in all lowercase type. \value SmallCaps This alters the text to be rendered in small-caps type. \value Capitalize This alters the text to be rendered with the first character of each word as an uppercase character.

HintingPreference

enum QFont::HintingPreference

Since

4.8

This enum describes the different levels of hinting that can be applied to glyphs to improve legibility on displays where it might be warranted by the density of pixels.

\value PreferDefaultHinting Use the default hinting level for the target platform. \value PreferNoHinting If possible, render text without hinting the outlines of the glyphs. The text layout will be typographically accurate and scalable, using the same metrics as are used e.g. when printing. \value PreferVerticalHinting If possible, render text with no horizontal hinting, but align glyphs to the pixel grid in the vertical direction. The text will appear crisper on displays where the density is too low to give an accurate rendering of the glyphs. But since the horizontal metrics of the glyphs are unhinted, the text's layout will be scalable to higher density devices (such as printers) without impacting details such as line breaks. \value PreferFullHinting If possible, render text with hinting in both horizontal and vertical directions. The text will be altered to optimize legibility on the target device, but since the metrics will depend on the target size of the text, the positions of glyphs, line breaks, and other typographical detail will not scale, meaning that a text layout may look different on devices with different pixel densities.

Please note that this enum only describes a preference, as the full range of hinting levels are not supported on all of Qt's supported platforms. The following table details the effect of a given hinting preference on a selected set of target platforms.

Note

Please be aware that altering the hinting preference on Windows is available through the DirectWrite font engine. This is available on Windows Vista after installing the platform update, and on Windows 7. In order to use this extension, configure Qt using -directwrite. The target application will then depend on the availability of DirectWrite on the target system.

StyleStrategy

enum QFont::StyleStrategy

The style strategy tells the \l{QFont}{font matching} algorithm what type of fonts should be used to find an appropriate default family.

The following strategies are available:

\value PreferDefault the default style strategy. It does not prefer any type of font. \value PreferBitmap prefers bitmap fonts (as opposed to outline fonts). \value PreferDevice prefers device fonts. \value PreferOutline prefers outline fonts (as opposed to bitmap fonts). \value ForceOutline forces the use of outline fonts. \value NoAntialias don't antialias the fonts. \value NoSubpixelAntialias avoid subpixel antialiasing on the fonts if possible. \value PreferAntialias antialias if possible. \value NoFontMerging If the font selected for a certain writing system does not contain a character requested to draw, then Qt automatically chooses a similar looking font that contains the character. The NoFontMerging flag disables this feature. Please note that enabling this flag will not prevent Qt from automatically picking a suitable font when the selected font does not support the writing system of the text. \value PreferNoShaping Sometimes, a font will apply complex rules to a set of characters in order to display them correctly. In some writing systems, such as Brahmic scripts, this is required in order for the text to be legible, but in e.g. Latin script, it is merely a cosmetic feature. The PreferNoShaping flag will disable all such features when they are not required, which will improve performance in most cases (since Qt 5.10).

Any of these may be OR-ed with one of these flags:

\value PreferMatch prefer an exact match. The font matcher will try to use the exact font size that has been specified. \value PreferQuality prefer the best quality font. The font matcher will use the nearest standard point size that the font supports.

QFont() [2/5]

QFont::QFont	(	const QString &	family,
		int	pointSize = -1,
		int	weight = -1,
		bool	italic = false
	)

Constructs a font object with the specified family, pointSize, weight and italic settings.

If pointSize is zero or negative, the point size of the font is set to a system-dependent default value. Generally, this is 12 points.

The family name may optionally also include a foundry name, e.g. "Helvetica [Cronyx]". If the family is available from more than one foundry and the foundry isn't specified, an arbitrary foundry is chosen. If the family isn't available a family will be set using the \l{QFont}{font matching} algorithm.

This will split the family string on a comma and call setFamilies() with the resulting list. To preserve a font that uses a comma in its name, use the constructor that takes a QStringList.

Since

6.6 This is an overloaded member function, provided for convenience. It differs from the above function only in what argument(s) it accepts.

Applies an integer value to a specific typographical feature when shaping the text. This provides advanced access to the font shaping process, and can be used to support font features that are otherwise not covered in the API.

A feature is defined by a 32-bit tag (encoded from the four-character name of the table by using the stringToTag() function), as well as an integer value.

This integer value passed along with the tag in most cases represents a boolean value: A zero value means the feature is disabled, and a non-zero value means it is enabled. For certain font features, however, it may have other intepretations. For example, when applied to the salt feature, the value is an index that specifies the stylistic alternative to use.

For example, the frac font feature will convert diagonal fractions separated with a slash (such as 1/2) with a different representation. Typically this will involve baking the full fraction into a single character width (such as ½).

If a font supports the frac feature, then it can be enabled in the shaper by setting {features[stringToTag("frac")] = 1} in the font feature map.

Note

By default, Qt will enable and disable certain font features based on other font properties. In particular, the kern feature will be enabled/disabled depending on the \l kerning() property of the QFont. In addition, all ligature features (liga, clig, dlig, hlig) will be disabled if a \l letterSpacing() is applied, but only for writing systems where the use of ligature is cosmetic. For writing systems where ligatures are required, the features will remain in their default state. The values set using setFeature() and related functions will override the default behavior. If, for instance, the feature "kern" is set to 1, then kerning will always be enabled, regardless of whether the kerning property is set to false. Similarly, if it is set to 0, then it will always be disabled. To reset a font feature to its default behavior, you can unset it using unsetFeature().

Here is the caller graph for this function:

setStretch()

void QFont::setStretch

(

int

factor

)

Sets the stretch factor for the font.

The stretch factor matches a condensed or expanded version of the font or applies a stretch transform that changes the width of all characters in the font by factor percent. For example, setting factor to 150 results in all characters in the font being 1.5 times (ie. 150%) wider. The minimum stretch factor is 1, and the maximum stretch factor is 4000. The default stretch factor is AnyStretch, which will accept any stretch factor and not apply any transform on the font.

The stretch factor is only applied to outline fonts. The stretch factor is ignored for bitmap fonts.

Note

When matching a font with a native non-default stretch factor, requesting a stretch of 100 will stretch it back to a medium width font.
