QPainter drawtext Bold

@TheCipo76
Sample is like 98% your code. just removed the Date stuff.
Even to Image is your code, just to a pixmap.
Rest of it, is the same. So something must have went wrong
altering the code, or maybe it didnt use new code or something.

[TheCipo76]

@mrjj ok, now i will search where is the problem..

[mrjj]

@TheCipo76
Good hunting. Now we know it will work so
its just to compare sample to actual code and see what could be difference.

[TheCipo76]

@mrjj Thank you.. it's what i will do ;)

[mrjj]

@TheCipo76
When you find it, please tell here.
Its always good for me to know what i missed.

[TheCipo76]

@mrjj Sorry .. my bad..
when you asked to try app i was working on windows..
on mac don't works in image and neither pdf

[mrjj]

@TheCipo76
Aha, and did you try the
http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qtwidgets-richtext-textedit-example.html
example on mac too ?
We have other poster that has Bold issue on macOs.
https://forum.qt.io/topic/98726/qtextedit-make-text-bold

so its kinda important to know if RichText sample do not go bold for you either as it then
smells like a Qt thing /Xcode / macOS version thing.

[TheCipo76]

@mrjj Yes, i've already tried on mac and it works

Hi
(only talking macOs)
So Rich Text can do bold but your code does not ?
So unlike other poster - its sort of mixed.
Very odd.
Also if not even my sample with image give Bold text then
something is not workings it should.
I wonder if the font itself could be the issue.
did you try with other fonts in the code ?

[TheCipo76]

@mrjj i've tried with "Times" with the same result
no bold text

[mrjj]

@TheCipo76
Ok so seems the same as other poster.
Do you also have message in Creator ?
like
Project WARNING: Qt has only been tested with version 10.13 of the platform SDK, you're using 10.14.

[TheCipo76]

@mrjj Yes, but i've silenced it with:

CONFIG += sdk_no_version_check

this is the message:

Project WARNING: Qt has only been tested with version 10.13 of the platform SDK, you're using 10.14.
Project WARNING: This is an unsupported configuration. You may experience build issues, and by using
Project WARNING: the 10.14 SDK you are opting in to new features that Qt has not been prepared for.
Project WARNING: E.g., 10.14 enables dark mode and layer-backed views, which Qt 5.11 does not support.
Project WARNING: Please downgrade the SDK you use to build your app to version 10.13, or configure
Project WARNING: with CONFIG+=sdk_no_version_check when running qmake to silence this warning.

@TheCipo76
Ok super , so i think its related.
and what Qt are you using ?
The other poster is using Qt 5.12.0

[TheCipo76]

@mrjj Qt 5.12.0

so we are Qt mac os x tester?? lol

[mrjj]

Ok
I think that version might have some kind of issue with Mojave
Tried to scan the bug site but didn't see anything.

[TheCipo76]

@mrjj i've founded this:

https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-69955

but is not properly the same thing

[mrjj]

@TheCipo76
Oh nice found.
I think that is very related.
weights is other term for bold.
So should be fixed in
5.12.0 Beta 1
but i dont know if that is the same version that is available as

Would it be an option to try it out ?

[aha_1980]

@mrjj It should already be fixed in 5.12.0, but of course also in the 5.12.1 snapshot and final release.

[mrjj]

@aha_1980
Ah yes, of cause. i read it as 5.12.1 Beta 1
but the released 5.12.0 sure includes the beta code: )

Hmm that is actually bad news as its either not included
or did not fix Bold/weight issues in all cases.
Or was fixed for platform SDK 10.13 , but not for 10.14.

So what is the right approach here ?
With only 2 posters having Bold issue, im not sure it warrants a new bug report yet ?
