Fonts not showing Qt Apps in Qt5.7

embdev

Hi all, the fonts in my compiled Qt5 apps are not showing up. i understand Qt 5.7 do not carry fonts anymore and need to install separately. So i tried to cross-compile fontconfig but somehow unsuccessful. I've performed the following steps:

Configure parameters for fontconfig are as follow:

./configure --prefix=/home/aa/Hi3536_SDK_V2.0.4.0/fontconfigArm --host=arm-hisiv400-linux --enable-static --disable-docs --enable-libxml2

performed make function and received the following errors:

config.status: creating src/fcstdint.h : _FONTCONFIG_SRC_FCSTDINT_H

Does anyone has any advice?

Thanks!

Hi,
Instead of installing fonts separately, you can add fonts in resource.qrc file of your project as you add images. add the below line in qml file to import
FontLoader { id: fontFamily; source: "/font/font.ttf" }
