      Hi and welcome to devnet,

      Did you forget to deploy your font with your application ?

          First thing: where does the font you use come from ?

            i rightclicked the labels, - styleSheets, - addfont, from there i select the font, so the font may come from the window's system folder

              Are you sure it's a system font ?
              What name is it ?

                  You have to distribute that font alongside your application but you must first check that it's allowed by the font author.

                  As for the distribution, you can use Qt's resources system.

                      QFontDatabase is the best place to handle fonts.

                        @SGaist said in problem with font after deploys:

                        e best place to h

                        solved

                        first add the font to the .qrc file, and then this line>
                        QFontDatabase::addApplicationFont(“:/fonts/fontName.ttf”);
                        and the labels with font: xpx, "fontName";

                        thanks
