public class QFontDatabase
The QFontDatabase class provides information about the fonts available in the underlying window system.
The most common uses of this class are to query the database for the list of font families and for the pointSizes and styles that are available for each family. An alternative to pointSizes is smoothSizes which returns the sizes at which a given family and style will look attractive.
If the font family is available from two or more foundries the foundry name is included in the family name, e.g. "Helvetica [Adobe]" and "Helvetica [Cronyx]". When you specify a family you can either use the old hyphenated Qt 2.x "foundry-family" format, e.g. "Cronyx-Helvetica", or the new bracketed Qt 3.x "family [foundry]" format e.g. "Helvetica [Cronyx]". If the family has a foundry it is always returned, e.g. by families, using the bracketed format.
The font function returns a QFont given a family, style and point size.
A family and style combination can be checked to see if it is italic or bold, and to retrieve its weight. Similarly we can call isBitmapScalable, isSmoothlyScalable, isScalable and isFixedPitch.
Use the styleString to obtain a text version of a style.
The QFontDatabase class also supports some static functions, for example, standardSizes. You can retrieve the description of a writing system using writingSystemName, and a sample of characters in a writing system with writingSystemSample.
Example:
QFontDatabase database; QTreeWidget fontTree; fontTree.setColumnCount(2); fontTree.setHeaderLabels(QStringList() << "Font" << "Smooth Sizes"); foreach (QString family, database.families()) { QTreeWidgetItem *familyItem = new QTreeWidgetItem(&fontTree); familyItem->setText(0, family); foreach (QString style, database.styles(family)) { QTreeWidgetItem *styleItem = new QTreeWidgetItem(familyItem); styleItem->setText(0, style); QString sizes; foreach (int points, database.smoothSizes(family, style)) sizes += QString::number(points) + " "; styleItem->setText(1, sizes.trimmed()); } }
This example gets the list of font families, the list of styles for each family, and the point sizes that are available for each combination of family and style, displaying this information in a tree view.

public final boolean bold(java.lang.String family, java.lang.String style)
Returns true if the font that has family family and style style is bold; otherwise returns false.
public final java.util.List<java.lang.String> families()
public final java.util.List<java.lang.String> families(QFontDatabase.WritingSystem writingSystem)
Returns a sorted list of the available font families which support the writingSystem.
If a family exists in several foundries, the returned name for that font is in the form "family [foundry]". Examples: "Times [Adobe]", "Times [Cronyx]", "Palatino".
public final QFont font(java.lang.String family, java.lang.String style, int pointSize)
Returns a QFont object that has family family, style style and point size pointSize. If no matching font could be created, a QFont object that uses the application's default font is returned.
public final boolean isBitmapScalable(java.lang.String family)
Equivalent to isBitmapScalable(family, QString()).
public final boolean isBitmapScalable(java.lang.String family, java.lang.String style)
Returns true if the font that has family family and style style is a scalable bitmap font; otherwise returns false. Scaling a bitmap font usually produces an unattractive hardly readable result, because the pixels of the font are scaled. If you need to scale a bitmap font it is better to scale it to one of the fixed sizes returned by smoothSizes.
public final boolean isFixedPitch(java.lang.String family)
Equivalent to isFixedPitch(family, QString()).
public final boolean isFixedPitch(java.lang.String family, java.lang.String style)
Returns true if the font that has family family and style style is fixed pitch; otherwise returns false.
public final boolean isScalable(java.lang.String family)
Equivalent to isScalable(family, QString()).
public final boolean isScalable(java.lang.String family, java.lang.String style)
Returns true if the font that has family family and style style is scalable; otherwise returns false.
public final boolean isSmoothlyScalable(java.lang.String family)
Equivalent to isSmoothlyScalable(family, QString()).
public final boolean isSmoothlyScalable(java.lang.String family, java.lang.String style)
Returns true if the font that has family family and style style is smoothly scalable; otherwise returns false. If this function returns true, it's safe to scale this font to any size, and the result will always look attractive.
public final boolean italic(java.lang.String family, java.lang.String style)
Returns true if the font that has family family and style style is italic; otherwise returns false.
public final java.util.List<java.lang.Integer> pointSizes(java.lang.String family)
public final java.util.List<java.lang.Integer> pointSizes(java.lang.String family, java.lang.String style)

public final java.util.List<java.lang.Integer> smoothSizes(java.lang.String family, java.lang.String style)
Returns the point sizes of a font that has family family and style style that will look attractive. The list may be empty. For non-scalable fonts and bitmap scalable fonts, this function is equivalent to pointSizes.
public final java.lang.String styleString(QFont font)
Returns a string that describes the style of the font. For example, "Bold Italic", "Bold", "Italic" or "Normal". An empty string may be returned.
public final java.lang.String styleString(QFontInfo fontInfo)
Returns a string that describes the style of the fontInfo. For example, "Bold Italic", "Bold", "Italic" or "Normal". An empty string may be returned.
public final java.util.List<java.lang.String> styles(java.lang.String family)
Returns a list of the styles available for the font family family. Some example styles: "Light", "Light Italic", "Bold", "Oblique", "Demi". The list may be empty.

Returns a sorted list of the writing systems supported by a given font family.
public final java.util.List<QFontDatabase.WritingSystem> writingSystems()
Returns a sorted list of the available writing systems. This is list generated from information about all installed fonts on the system.

Loads the font from the file specified by fileName and makes it available to the application. An ID is returned that can be used to remove the font again with removeApplicationFont or to retrieve the list of family names contained in the font.
The function returns -1 if the font could not be loaded.
Currently only TrueType fonts and TrueType font collections are supported.
Note: Adding application fonts on Unix/X11 platforms without fontconfig is currently not supported.
public static int addApplicationFontFromData(QByteArray fontData)
Loads the font from binary data specified by fontData and makes it available to the application. An ID is returned that can be used to remove the font again with removeApplicationFont or to retrieve the list of family names contained in the font.
The function returns -1 if the font could not be loaded.
Currently only TrueType fonts and TrueType font collections are supported.
Note: Adding application fonts on Unix/X11 platforms without fontconfig is currently not supported.

Removes all application-local fonts previously added using addApplicationFont and addApplicationFontFromData.
Returns true if unloading of the fonts succeeded; otherwise returns false.

Returns a list of standard font sizes.
