Not able do use a different font for the Application

dynam1te

I want to change the default (fixed_120_50.qpf) font with a special font, I created myself. It's a .bdf file.

I build makeqpf and used it to convert my .bdf file into a .qpf2 file, added the .qpf2 file in the $QT_DIR/lib/font folder.

But now the application only displays a invalid square. Is there something that I'm missing?

Note: I had to remove all the default files in $QT_DIR/lib/font, to make anything show up.
Also: Is .qpf compatible with .qpf2? How can I convert a .qpf2 file to .qpf?

Thanks in advance

Are you trying to set a default font to your Qt application ? Then try this,

    int loadedFontID = QFontDatabase::addApplicationFont("<Your custom font pathname (TTF/PFA/PFB/BDF/QPF)>");
    QStringList loadedFontFamilies = QFontDatabase::applicationFontFamilies(loadedFontID);
    fontName = loadedFontFamilies.value(0);
    QFont font;
    font.setFamily(fontName);
    app.setFont(font);
