    I install the same font on windows and on my device("Bitsteam Vera Sans" for example), but their is a difference between those two. In linux the text is more spacious, and in windows the text is dense.
    I know that I use the same font and not a default font.
    Any idea?

      What resolution is your windows device and your embedded device?

      DPI changes how fonts look. And define spacious, screenshots would be useful.

        you need to create the qpf fonts of your choice and put it in the target's rootfs font folder.....

          QPF fonts are not the only choice. Qt for Linux embedded supports several other formats. However, each Qt implementation for each OS uses a different system for choosing fonts, so is normal that they look a little bit different, specially given that your normal OS has a lot of fonts, and Qt for embedded has just a bunch (unless you customize it).

          Make sure that you set exactly the type of font that you want in the application or in each widget.

            I solved the problem. There was a difference between the default configuration of font(hintiing,antialias) in windows and linux embedded.
            when I changed the config file in linux embedded to work with the same definitions it look the same.
            "Font Configuration":https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Font_Configuration
            Tnx for help.
