    Hello,
    is it possible to add Code128.ttf and Code39.ttf to my Qt application? I am using Qt5.12.7.
    For example I want to show a text as code128 or code39 barcode in a label.
    But at the moment I am not able to load the fonts.
    I tried it with

    QFontDatabase::addApplicationFont(":/fonts/code128.ttf");
    

    and with

    FontLoader {
       id: code128font
       source: "qrc:/fonts/code128.ttf"
    }
    

    But it didn't work. I always get an error, that font could not be loaded.

    Any suggestions?

      Hi,

      Does it work if you use the full path to the font file ?
      What value does the call to addApplicationFont return ?
      On which OS are you running your application ?

        Yes, when I add one font and use the full path it works.

        But I want to add the ttf files to my ressources and use it with a relative path.
        Is that possbile?
        At the moment the ttf files are located in a sub folder in the application folder.
        Then I added the files to qrc file and use the path from there.

        For information:
        I am developing on Ubuntu 18.04. Then the application is cross compiled and runs raspbian buster.

          Are you sure your paths are correct with regard to your folder structure ?
          Did you set any alias in the qrc file ?
