Fonts does not work in QT5 application but it works in Qt4

[Qt Enthusiast]

I have following code

// get our local fonts
QString fonts = get_home() + "/lib/fonts/";
QFontDatabase fontDB;
fontDB.addApplicationFont(fonts+"LiberationMono-Regular.ttf");
fontDB.addApplicationFont(fonts+"LiberationMono-Bold.ttf");
fontDB.addApplicationFont(fonts+"LiberationMono-Italic.ttf");
fontDB.addApplicationFont(fonts+"LiberationMono-BoldItalic.ttf");
fontDB.addApplicationFont(fonts+"LiberationSans-Regular.ttf");
fontDB.addApplicationFont(fonts+"LiberationSans-Bold.ttf");
fontDB.addApplicationFont(fonts+"LiberationSans-Italic.ttf");
fontDB.addApplicationFont(fonts+"LiberationSans-BoldItalic.ttf");
fontDB.addApplicationFont(fonts+"Inconsolata.otf");

ls ../lib/fonts/

Inconsolata.otf* LiberationMono-Bold.ttf* LiberationMono-Regular.ttf* LiberationSans-Bold.ttf* LiberationSans-Regular.ttf*
LiberationMono-BoldItalic.ttf* LiberationMono-Italic.ttf* LiberationSans-BoldItalic.ttf* LiberationSans-Italic.ttf*

This code is working for QT4 but not working for Qt5 application

can u please let me know how to set the fonts for Qt5 application

@Qt-Enthusiast said in Fonts does not work in QT5 application but it works in Qt4:

QFontDatabase::addApplicationFont()

This has a return value which you could check. Also you should check if ../lib/fonts is the same path as get_home() + "/lib/fonts"

[Qt Enthusiast]

yes the path is correct

@Qt-Enthusiast
And what about the return result of addApplicationFont(), as @Christian-Ehrlicher asked?
