Unsolved What does font.bold actually do? Use a different font or change rendering?
-
Hi,
I am writing a QML application for desktop use. I want it to use the Roboto font by google. It comes as several ttf files, each file for a different style (medium, light, italic, bold...).
If I then have a
Text
like this:FontLoader {id: mytest; source:"qrc:/../../fonts/roboto/Roboto-Regular.ttf"} Text { id: text254 width: 404 height: 60 text: qsTr("Sample Text") font.family: mytest.name font.bold: true
What would font.bold do? I guess it would transform Roboto-Regular to look bold instead of using Roboto-bold.ttf. Is there a way I can use font.family so that font.bold would choose Roboto-bold.ttf?

So as far as I see, this will not work with a
FontLoader
. What is the situation, if the font is installed? Then there are several ttf files, e.g. Roboto-Regular.ttf, Roboto-Bold.ttf, Roboto-Italic.ttf. If I use```
Text {
id: text254
width: 404
height: 60
text: qsTr("Test")
font.family: "Roboto"
font.bold: trueWill the displayed text use "Roboto-Bold.ttf" or widen the Roboto-Regular?
