Paint Symbol with drawText() method

[Vetryaspa]

Hi all,

i have a problem to paint a text, the problem is not the painter but the text because i have to Write "€" symble and it was not write, compare a white rect or if i cast is toUtf8 compare wrong String.

How i can paint it?

regards

That's almost certainly due to wrong encoding of your source files. Please have a look for

• CODECFORTR = UTF-8
  in qmake .pro files
• CODECFORSRC = UTF-8
  in qmake .pro files
• QTextCodec::setCodecForCStrings(QTextCodec::codecForName("UTF-8"));
  in your main method
• QTextCodec::setCodecForTr(QTextCodec::codecForName("UTF-8"));
  in your main method

Volker I have to write this:

@
QPainter p;
p.drawText(12, y+71, 100, 20, Qt::AlignLeft, QString("€"));@

Now you saw my code, do you think it could be semplified?

I'm using this:
@ QPainter p;
p.drawText(12, y+71, 100, 20, Qt::AlignLeft, QString::fromUtf8("€"));
@

The source file you have to save as utf8!

If you just get a rectangle in the place of the character you expected that hints to either the conversion being wrong (output the value of the QChar and compare that to the unicode tables to verify this is not the case) or that the font does not contain the requested symbol.
