Hi there,

JackChiraque

I'am a total beginner in QT, I'am trying to add a customized font that i can use in my GUI but i couldn't. Any help please? Note that i have already added the font to my Resources file but I don't know what to do next in order to use it.

@JackChiraque Take a look at https://forum.qt.io/topic/57772/using-custom-fonts

@jsulm Thanks for your answer, it didn't work for me tho.
I have already added the font to the resources file, but I don't know how to use for a QLabelText

@JackChiraque From the link I posted:

int loadedFontID = QFontDatabase::addApplicationFont ( ":/Triforce.ttf" );
QFont Triforce("Triforce", 24, QFont::Normal);
ui->label->setFont(Triforce);

Did you try that?

@JackChiraque
Every QWidget, including QLabel, has QWidget:setFont(const QFont &). To read a font from resource file, Google for qfont from resource. there are several hits, maybe https://stackoverflow.com/questions/30973781/qt-add-custom-font-from-resource or https://forum.qt.io/topic/57772/using-custom-fonts.

Then if you'd like to use the font via stylesheet instead of setFont(), see e.g. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/43411803/how-to-use-a-embedded-font-in-qt-style-sheet.
