FontAwesome, Qt in Windows

Trikrista

I use FontAwesome (https://fortawesome.github.io/Font-Awesome/)

//---
painter->setFont(QFont("FontAwesome", dt));
QString str = QChar(0xf24e);
painter->drawText(QPointF(x, y), str);
//---

In windows, with locale English, Instead of the desired character is displayed "?"
In Windows, with locale Russian or Ukrainian, and in Linux all is well.

How to fix it?

Hi,

How are you loading FontAwesome ?

I added font in qrc.

Hi Trikrista,

at least when using Qt on an embedded system, the system needs to know about the font (http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qt-embedded-fonts.html). I guess this is also the case with Qt on Desktop devices. Can you maybe install the font on the system where you're running the qt program?

PS: On http://doc.qt.io/qt-4.8/qfontdatabase.html there's an example on how to show a list of the fonts being recognized by the system.
