Custom fonts only works the first time

Alvinder

Guys,

I am really struggling with this and not sure how to solve this issue.

Here is the code.

I am running this on symbian ^3 (belle). Works on N9 no issues.

I have 2 custom fonts that i need to use.

In the example below i have created 3 buttons.

Display gurbaniwebthick.ttf
Display GurHindi.ttf.
Quit.

I click on the first button and then click on text filed it displays the first line in Pubjabi.
Click on the second button and then click on the text filed it displays the first line in Hindi.

When i quit the app and then run the app again the fonts are not applied. Its like it can't get a lock on the file.

Please advise how to solve this issue.

Regards

Project File

Add more folders to ship with the application, here

folder_01.source = qml/testfont
folder_01.target = qml

Additional import path used to resolve QML modules in Creator's code model

QML_IMPORT_PATH =

#symbian:TARGET.UID3 = 0xE404178B

Smart Installer package's UID

This UID is from the protected range and therefore the package will

fail to install if self-signed. By default qmake uses the unprotected

range value if unprotected UID is defined for the application and

0x2002CCCF value if protected UID is given to the application

#symbian:DEPLOYMENT.installer_header = 0x2002CCCF

Allow network access on Symbian

If your application uses the Qt Mobility libraries, uncomment the following

lines and add the respective components to the MOBILITY variable.
