Member Function Documentation

QString QFont::​rawName() const

Returns the name of the font within the underlying window system.

On X11, this function will return an empty string.

Using the return value of this function is usually not portable.

See also setRawName().

[static] void QFont::​removeSubstitution(const QString & familyName)

This function is deprecated. Use removeSubstitutions() instead.

void QFont::​setRawName(const QString & name)

Sets a font by its system specific name.

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 for rendering rich text.

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

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