Hi,

Check "QFontDatabase::addApplicationFont":http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-5/qfontdatabase.html#addApplicationFont.

[sasireka]

I am new to Qt. I am not understanding. Please give me some guide.

Do you have a .ttf file for your font ?
Or have you made sure that the font is already available inside Qt ?

[sasireka]

yes i checked tamit fonts (Lohit Tamil) available in qt.

No.. Just use as it is as shown earlier. It will just print a list of fonts available under Tamil Writingsystem.

[sasireka]

@QFontDatabase label1;
foreach(QString fmly, label1.families(QFontDatabase::Tamil))
{
//qDebug("சென்னை") << fmly;
qDebug("சென்னை");
ui->label1->show();
}@
