Embedded TTF does not work in QT5 for Linux GUI application.

[LostDeveloper]

Hi,
I got problem with using my own TTF for my application.
I installed libfontconfig-dev and all its dependencies.
The QFontDatabase::addApplicationFont(<path of font-family>) function returns success but when I use my font-family in setFont(QFont(font-family)) nothing happens. The font-family is not reflected.

Your inputs are greatly appreciated :)

@LostDeveloper
does the following return what you expect?

qDebug() << QFontDatabase::applicationFontFamilies( QFontDatabase::addApplicationFont(...) );

@raven-worx I will try that.

I did this yesterday too..

//QFontDatabase db;
    for(int i=0; i<db.families().size(); i++)
    {
    qDebug() << db.families().at(i);
    }```
//
But my font-family is not listed.```

This returns "( )".
