Unsuccessfully adding new font in pyqt5

sLawalata

greetings,

I try to add new font in my pyqt5 apps with this code:

I am sure that it has correct file path points to right files. It can load it and add to font_db by succesfully printing font family.

font_db = QtGui.QFontDatabase()

   for f in ['resources/fonts/GothamNarrowBold.otf', 'resources/fonts/GothamNarrowBook.otf']:
       font_files = os.path.join(package_dir, f)
       print(font_files)
       font_id = font_db.addApplicationFont(font_files)
       font_family = font_db.applicationFontFamilies(font_id)
       print(font_family)

but I still get this error message.

qt.qpa.fonts: Populating font family aliases took 103 ms. Replace uses of missing font family "Gotham Narrow Bold" with one that exists to avoid this cost.

What I have missed? Somebody can help me to solve this problem?

thanks in advance.

same question posted here.

Are you placing your fonts on a .qrc as well, or you are only using the relative path?

Depending what you mean by "relative", note that the OP makes the paths absolute with font_files = os.path.join(package_dir, f). So assuming he has checked in there for the presence of the files.
