DESCRIPTION
       The QFont class specifies a font used for drawing text.

       QFont, more precisely, is a collection of attributes of a
       font. When Qt needs to draw text, it will look up and load
       the closest matching installed font and draw using that.

QFont(3qt)					       QFont(3qt)

       The most important attributes of a QFont are its family(),
       pointSize(), weight() and whether it is italic() or not.
       There are QFont constructors that take these attributes as
       arguments, as shown in this example:

	   void MyWidget::paintEvent( QPaintEvent * )
	   {
	       QPainter p( this );
	       // times, 12pt, normal
	       p.setFont( QFont( "times" ) );
	       p.drawText( 10, 20, "Text1" );
	       // helvetica, 18pt, normal
	       p.setFont( QFont( "helvetica", 18 ) );
	       p.drawText( 10, 120, "Text2" );
	       // courier, 24pt, bold
	       p.setFont( QFont( "courier", 24, QFont::Bold ) );
	       p.drawText( 10, 220, "Text3" );
	       // lucida, 36pt, bold, italic
	       p.setFont( QFont( "lucida", 36, QFont::Bold, TRUE ) );
	       p.drawText( 10, 320, "Text4" );
	   }

       The default QFont constructor makes a copy of
       application's default font, QApplication::font().

       You can also change these attributes of an existing QFont
       object using functions such as setFamily(),
       setPointSize(), setWeight() and setItalic().

       There are also some less-used attributes. setUnderline()
       decides whether the font is underlined or not;
       setStrikeOut() can be used to get overstrike (a horizontal
       line through the middle of the characters);
       setFixedPitch() determines whether Qt should give
       preference to fixed-pitch (also known as fixed-width) or
       variable-pitch fonts when it needs to choose an installed
       font; setStyleHint() can be used to offer more general
       help to the font matching algorithm, and on X11
       setRawName() can be used to bypass the entire font
       matching and use an X11 XLFD.

       Of course there is also a reader function for each of
       these set*() functions. Note that the reader functions
       return the values previously set, not the attributes of
       the actual window system font that will be used for
       drawing. You can get information about the font that will
       be used for drawing by using QFontInfo, but be aware that
       QFontInfo may be slow and that its results depend on what
       fonts are installed.

       In general font handling and loading are costly
       operations, especially on X11. The QFont class contains
       extensive optimizations to make copying of QFont objects
       fast, and to cache the results of the slow window system

       functions it uses.

       QFont also offers a few static functions, mostly to tune
       the font matching algorithm: You can control what happens
       if a font's family isn't installed using
       insertSubstitution() and removeSubstitution(), ask what
       happens for a single family using substitute() and you can
       get a complete list of the fallback families using
       substitutions().

       cacheStatistics() offers cache effectiveness information;
       this is useful mostly for debugging.

       Finally, QApplication::setFont() allows you to set the
       default font. The default default font is chosen at
       application startup from a set of common installed fonts
       that support the correct character set for the current
       locale. Of course, the initialization algorithm has a
       default, too: The default default default font!

       The font matching algorithm works as follows:

       First an available font family is found. If the requested
       is not available the styleHint() is used to select a
       replacement family. If the style hint has not been set,
       "helvetica" will be used.

       If even the replacement family is not found, "helvetica"
       is searched for, if that too is not found Qt will search
       for a last resort font, i.e. a specific font to match to,
       ignoring the attribute settings. Qt searches through a
       built-in list of very common fonts. If none of these are
       available, Qt gives you an error message and aborts (of
       course this only happens if you are using fonts and Qt has
       to load a font). We have not been able to find a case
       where this happens. Please report it as a bug if it does,
       preferably with a list of the fonts you have installed.

       The following attributes are then matched, in order of
       priority:

       1      charSet()

       2      fixedPitch()

       3      pointSize() (see below)

       4      weight()

       5      italic()

       If, for example, a font with the correct character set is
       found, but with all other attributes in the list
       unmatched, it will be chosen before a font with the wrong

Trolltech AS		   13 June 2001				4

QFont(3qt)					       QFont(3qt)

       character set but with all other attributes correct.

       The point size is defined to match if it is within 20% of
       the requested point size. Of course, when several fonts
       match and only point size differs the closest point size
       to the one requested will be chosen.

       For more general information on fonts, see the comp.fonts
       FAQ and for more general information on encodings, see
       Roman Czyborra's page about that.

QFont::StyleHint
       Style hints are used by the font matching algorithm when a
       selected font family cannot be found and is used to find
       an appropriate default family.

       The style hint value of AnyStyle leaves the task of
       finding a good default family to the font matching
       algorithm.

       The other available style hints are QFont::SansSerif,
       QFont::TypeWriter, QFont::OldEnglish, QFont::System

QFont::StyleStrategy
       The style strategy tells the font matching algorithm what
       type of fonts should be used to find an appropriate
       default family.

       The algorithm won't prefer any type of font if NoStratgie
       is provided.

       The other available strategys are QFont::PreferBitmap,
       QFont::PreferDevice, QFont::PreferOutline,
       QFont::ForceOutline

       Any of these may be ORed with a indicator whether exact
       matching or good quality should be preferred.

       QFont::PreferMatch, QFont::PreferQuality

QFont::Weight
       Contains the predefined font weights:

       font actually used.

       See also setCharSet().

QFont::CharSet QFont::charSetForLocale() [static]
       Returns a guess at the character set most likely to be
       appropriate for the locale the application is running in.
       This is the character sets fonts will use by default.

void QFont::cleanup () [static]
       Internal function that cleans up the font system.

int QFont::deciPointSize () const [protected]
       Returns the point size in 1/10ths of a point.

       Returns the family name that corresponds to the current
       style hint.

QFont QFont::defaultFont () [static]
       Returns the QApplication default font.

       This function will be removed in a future version of Qt.
       Please use QApplication::font() instead.

bool QFont::dirty () const [protected]
       Returns TRUE if the font attributes have been changed and
       the font has to be (re)loaded, or FALSE if no changes have
       been made.

QString QFont::encodingName ( CharSet cs ) [static]
       Returns the encoding name of a character set, e.g.
       QFont::ISO_8859_1 returns "iso8859-1" and QFont::Unicode
       returns "iso10646".

bool QFont::exactMatch () const
       Returns TRUE if a window system font exactly matching the
       settings of this font is available.

       See also QFontInfo.

QString QFont::family () const
       Returns the family name set by setFamily().

       Use QFontInfo to find the family name of the window system
       font that is actually used for drawing.

       Example:

	   QFont     font( "Nairobi" );
	   QFontInfo info( font );

QFont(3qt)					       QFont(3qt)

	   qDebug( "Font family requested is	: \"%s\"", font.family() );
	   qDebug( "Font family actually used is: \"%s\"", info.family() );

       See also setFamily() and substitute().

bool QFont::fixedPitch () const
       Returns the value set by setFixedPitch().

       Use QFontInfo to find the fixed pitch value of the window
       system font actually used.

       Internal function that initializes the font system.

void QFont::insertSubstitution ( const QString & familyName,
       const QString & replacementName ) [static]
       Inserts a new font family name substitution in the family
       substitution table.

       If familyName already exists in the substitution table, it
       will be replaced with this new substitution.

       See also removeSubstitution(), substitutions() and
       substitute().

bool QFont::isCopyOf ( const QFont & f ) const
       Returns TRUE if this font and f are copies of each other,
       i.e. one of them was created as a copy of the other and
       neither was subsequently modified. This is much stricter
       than equality.

       See also operator= and operator==.

bool QFont::italic () const
       Returns the value set by setItalic().

       Use QFontInfo to find the italic value of the window
       system font actually used.

       See also setItalic().

QString QFont::key () const
       Returns the font's key, which is a textual representation
       of the font settings. It is typically used to insert and
       find fonts in a dictionary or a cache.

       See also QMap.

QString QFont::lastResortFamily () const [protected]
       Returns a last resort family name for the font matching
       algorithm.

Trolltech AS		   13 June 2001				9

QFont(3qt)					       QFont(3qt)

       See also lastResortFont().

QString QFont::lastResortFont () const [protected]
       Returns a last resort raw font name for the font matching
       algorithm. This is used if even the last resort family is
       not available. It returns something, almost no matter
       what.

       The current implementation tries a wide variety of common
       fonts, returning the first one it finds. The
       implementation may change at any time.

       See also lastResortFamily().

void QFont::locale_init () [static]
       Internal function that uses locale information to find the
       preferred character set of loaded fonts.

bool QFont::operator!= ( const QFont & f ) const
       Returns TRUE if the this font is different from f, or
       FALSE if they are equal.

       Two QFonts are different if their font attributes are
       different. If rawMode() is enabled for both fonts, then
       only the family fields are compared.

       See also operator==().

QFont & QFont::operator= ( const QFont & font )
       Assigns font to this font and returns a reference to this
       font.

bool QFont::operator== ( const QFont & f ) const
       Returns TRUE if the this font is equal to f, or FALSE if
       they are different.

       Two QFonts are equal if their font attributes are equal.
       If rawMode() is enabled for both fonts, then only the
       family fields are compared.

       See also operator!=().

int QFont::pixelSize () const
       Returns the logical pixel height of characters in the font
       if shown on the screen.

int QFont::pointSize () const
       Returns the point size set by setPointSize().

       Use QFontInfo to find the point size of the window system
       font actually used.

       Example of use:

Trolltech AS		   13 June 2001			       10

QFont(3qt)					       QFont(3qt)

	   QFont     font( "helvetica" );
	   QFontInfo info( font );
	   font.setPointSize( 53 );
	   qDebug( "Font size requested is    : %d", font.pointSize() );
	   qDebug( "Font size actually used is: %d", info.pointSize() );

       See also setPointSize() and deciPointSize().

float QFont::pointSizeFloat () const
       Returns the height of characters in the font in points
       (1/72 inch).

       See also pointSize().

bool QFont::rawMode () const
       Returns the value set by setRawMode().

       See also setRawMode().

QString QFont::rawName () const
       Returns the name of the font within the underlying window
       system. On Windows, this is usually just the family name
       of a true type font. Under X, it is a rather complex XLFD
       (X Logical Font Description). Using the return value of
       this function is usually not portable.

       See also setRawName().

void QFont::removeSubstitution ( const QString & familyName )
       [static]
       Removes a font family name substitution from the family
       substitution table.

       See also insertSubstitution(), substitutions() and
       substitute().

void QFont::setBold ( bool enable )
       Sets the weight to QFont::Bold if enable is TRUE, or to
       QFont::Normal if enable is FALSE.

       Use setWeight() to set the weight to other values.

       See also bold() and setWeight().

       Examples: menu/menu.cpp

void QFont::setCharSet ( CharSet charset )
       Sets the character set encoding (e.g. Latin1).

       If the character set encoding is not available another
       will be used for drawing. For most non-trivial
       applications you will probably not want this to happen
       since it can totally obscure the text shown to the user.
       This is why the font matching algorithm gives high

QFont(3qt)					       QFont(3qt)

       priority to finding the correct character set.

       You can test that the character set is correct using the
       QFontInfo class.

       See also charSet() and QFontInfo.

void QFont::setDefaultFont ( const QFont & f ) [static]
       This function is obsolete. It is provided to keep old
       source working, and will probably be removed in a future
       version of Qt. We strongly advise against using it in new
       code.

       Please use QApplication::setFont() instead.

void QFont::setFamily ( const QString & family )
       Sets the family name of the font (e.g. "Helvetica" or
       "times").

       The family name is case insensitive.

       If the family is not available a default family is used.

       See also family(), setStyleHint() and QFontInfo.

void QFont::setFixedPitch ( bool enable )
       Sets fixed pitch on or off.

       A fixed pitch font is a font where all characters have the
       same width.

       See also fixedPitch() and QFontInfo.

void QFont::setItalic ( bool enable )
       Sets italic on or off.

       See also italic() and QFontInfo.

void QFont::setPixelSize ( int pixelSize )
       Sets the logical height of characters in the font if shown
       on the screen.

void QFont::setPixelSizeFloat ( float pixelSize )
       Sets the logical pixel height of characters in the font if
       shown on the screen.

void QFont::setPointSize ( int pointSize )
       Sets the point size to pointSize. The point size must be
       greater than zero.

       Example:

	   QFont font( "courier" );
	   font.setPointSize( 18 );

QFont(3qt)					       QFont(3qt)

       See also pointSize() and QFontInfo.

void QFont::setPointSizeFloat ( float pointSize )
       Sets the point size to pointSize. The point size must be
       greater than zero. The requested precision may not be
       achieved on all platforms.

void QFont::setRawMode ( bool enable )
       Turns raw mode on if enable is TRUE, or turns it off if
       enable is FALSE.

       Calling this function only has effect under X windows. If
       raw mode is enabled, Qt will search for an X font with a
       complete font name matching the family name, ignoring all
       other values set for the QFont. If the font name matches
       several fonts, Qt will use the first font returned by X.
       QFontInfo cannot be used to fetch information about a
       QFont using raw mode (it will return the values set in the
       QFont for all parameters, including the family name).

       Warning: Do not use raw mode unless you really, really
       need it! In most (if not all) cases, setRawName() is a
       much better choise.

       See also rawMode() and setRawName().

void QFont::setRawName ( const QString & name )
       Sets a font by its system specific name. The function is
       in particular useful under X, where system font settings (
       for example X resources) are usually available as XLFD (X
       Logical Font Description) only. You can pass an XLFD as
       name to this function.

       In Qt 2.0 and later, a font set with setRawName() is still
       a full-featured QFont. It can be queried (for example with
       italic()) or modified (for example with setItalic() ) and
       is therefore also suitable as a basis font for rendering
       rich text.

       If Qt's internal font database cannot resolve the raw
       name, the font becomes a raw font with name as family.

       Note that the present implementation does not handle
       handle wildcards in XLFDs well, and that font aliases
       (file fonts.alias in the font directory on X11) are not
       supported.

       See also rawName(), setRawMode() and setFamily().

void QFont::setStrikeOut ( bool enable )
       Sets strike out on or off.

       See also strikeOut() and QFontInfo.

void QFont::setStyleHint ( StyleHint hint )
       Sets the style hint.

       See also setStyleHint().

       Examples: desktop/desktop.cpp

void QFont::setStyleHint ( StyleHint hint, StyleStrategy strategy
       )
       Sets the style hint and strategy.

       The style hint has a default value of AnyStyle which
       leaves the task of finding a good default family to the
       font matching algorithm.

       The style strategy has a default value of PreferDefault
       which tells the algorithm not to prefer any type of font.
       Right now, the X version only supports bitmap fonts.

       In the example below the push button will display its text
       label with the Bavaria font family if this family is
       available, if not it will display its text label with
       another serif font:

	   #include <qapplication.h>
	   #include <qpushbutton.h>
	   #include <qfont.h>
	   int main( int argc, char **argv )
	   {
	       QApplication app( argc, argv );
	       QPushButton  push("Push me");
	       QFont font( "Bavaria", 18 );	   // preferred family is Bavaria
	       font.setStyleHint( QFont::Serif )    // can also use any serif font
	       push.setFont( font );
	       return app.exec( &push );
	   }

       See also QFont::StyleHint, styleHint(),
       QFont::StyleStrategy, styleStrategy() and QFontInfo.

void QFont::setUnderline ( bool enable )
       Sets underline on or off.

       See also underline() and QFontInfo.

       Examples: menu/menu.cpp

void QFont::setWeight ( int weight )
       Sets the weight (or boldness), which should be a value
       from the QFont::Weight enumeration.

       Example:

	   QFont font( "courier" );

Trolltech AS		   13 June 2001			       14

QFont(3qt)					       QFont(3qt)

	   font.setWeight( QFont::Bold );

       Strictly speaking you can use all values in the range
       [0,99] (where 0 is ultralight and 99 is extremely black),
       but there is perhaps asking too much of the underlying
       window system.

       If the specified weight is not available the closest
       available will be used. Use QFontInfo to check the actual
       weight.

       See also weight() and QFontInfo.

bool QFont::strikeOut () const
       Returns the value set by setStrikeOut().

       Use QFontInfo to find the strike out value of the window
       system font actually used.

       See also setStrikeOut() and QFontInfo::strikeOut().

QFont::StyleHint QFont::styleHint() const
       Returns the StyleHint set by setStyleHint().

       See also setStyleHint() and QFontInfo::styleHint().

QFont::StyleStrategy QFont::styleStrategy() const
       Returns the StyleStratgie set by setStyleHint()

       See also setStyleHint().

QString QFont::substitute ( const QString & familyName ) [static]
       Returns the font family name to be used whenever
       familyName is specified. The lookup is case insensitive.

       If there is no substitution for familyName, then
       familyName is returned.

       Example:

	   QFont::insertSubstitution( "NewYork", "London" );
	   QFont::insertSubstitution( "Paris",	 "Texas" );
	   QFont::substitute( "NewYork" );     // returns "London"
	   QFont::substitute( "PARIS" );       // returns "Texas"
	   QFont::substitute( "Rome" );	       // returns "Rome"
	   QFont::removeSubstitution( "newyork" );
	   QFont::substitute( "NewYork" );     // returns "NewYork"

       See also setFamily(), insertSubstitution() and
       removeSubstitution().

QStringList QFont::substitutions () [static]
       Returns a sorted list of substituted family names.

bool QFont::underline () const
       Returns the value set by setUnderline().

       Use QFontInfo to find the underline value of the window
       system font actually used for drawing.

       See also setUnderline() and QFontInfo::underline().

int QFont::weight () const
       Returns the weight set by setWeight().

       Use QFontInfo to find the weight of the window system font
       actually used.

       See also setWeight() and QFontInfo.
