[SOLVED] How to apply a font family as default through a Qt Quick app
-
Real use case: Nokia is encouraging developers to use Nokia Pure in apps targeting Nokia devices. Makes sense and the font looks nice. Now, how is the best way to implement this in a Qt Quick project? I could not find any hints in the QML docs and I have no idea about Qt/C++.
I want to have Nokia Pure Text as default for all text strings. If a specific item requires a different font.family (e.g. Nokia Pure Header) then I would just need to add the parameter to the item itself.
fwiw my first little Qt Quick pet project can be found at https://gitorious.org/testdef/testdef/trees/master/testdef

In the main() function add a call to "QApplication::setFont()":http://doc.qt.nokia.com/latest/qapplication.html#setFont. Your QML elements should then use the specified font as default.

Thanks but the builder complains. Maybe I'm still doing something wrong?
@#include <QtGui/QApplication>
#include <QtDeclarative>int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
QApplication app(argc, argv);
QApplication::setFont("Nokia Pure Text");
QDeclarativeView view;
view.setSource(QUrl("qrc:/qml/main.qml"));
view.showFullScreen();
return app.exec();
}
@...main.cpp:-1: In function 'int main(int, char**)':
...main.cpp:8: error: no matching function for call to 'QApplication::setFont(const char [16])'
...QtSDK/Madde/sysroots/harmattan-nokia-meego-arm-sysroot-1122-slim/usr/include/qt4/QtGui/qapplication.h:162: candidates are: static void QApplication::setFont(const QFont&, const char*)

What is the advantage of using the form Eddy posted and something like this:
@int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
QApplication app(argc, argv);
#if defined(MEEGO_EDITION_HARMATTAN)
app.setFont(QFont("Nokia Pure Text"));
#endif
