How to use a custom font in Qt Installer Framework?

SamurayH

Hi,
I'm trying to use a custom font for my installer by it doesn't work.
In the documentation of binarycreator they say that : "In the optional resource files specified via the --resources parameter, a special fonts/ path can be used to ship custom fonts. . These fonts will be loaded automatically and thus become available in a stylesheet which can be specified via the StyleSheet variable."

So I'm using the following command to build the installer:

binarycreator -c config\config.xml -p packages MyAppSetup.exe -r ./fonts/;

and I set the font like this (in config/style.qss):

QWidget {
    background-color: #323232;
    color: #e6e6e6;
    font: 9pt  'MyFont'; 
}

however the installer doesn't display the correct font unless it's already installed in the system.

I'm assuming it's a bug, but not sure, any ideas?

Ok I've solved it.
It was my fault, the -r parameter must have a list of Qt Resource files..
I got a bit confused with the fonts/ path, I though it was a folder but it's a prefix path a Qt Resource file (.qrc):

<RCC>
    <qresource prefix="/fonts">
        <file>MyFont.TTF</file>
    </qresource>
</RCC>

and the command:

binarycreator -c config\config.xml -p packages -r resources/rc.qrc MyAppSetup.exe
