Member Function Documentation

◆ addRecentFontFamily()

void QgsFontUtils::addRecentFontFamily ( const QString &  family)
static

Adds a font family to the list of recently used font families.

See also
recentFontFamilies()

Definition at line 573 of file qgsfontutils.cpp.

◆ asCSS()

QString QgsFontUtils::asCSS ( const QFont &  font,
double  pointToPixelMultiplier = 1.0 
)
static

Returns a CSS string representing the specified font as closely as possible.

Parameters
fontQFont to convert
pointToPixelMultiplierscaling factor to apply to convert point sizes to pixel font sizes. The CSS returned by this function will always use pixels for font sizes, so this parameter should be set to a suitable value to convert point sizes to pixels (e.g., taking into account destination DPI)
Returns
partial CSS string, e.g., "font-family: Comic Sans; font-size: 12px;"

Definition at line 513 of file qgsfontutils.cpp.

◆ createFont()

QFont QgsFontUtils::createFont ( const QString &  family,
int  pointSize = -1,
int  weight = -1,
bool  italic = false 
)
static

Creates a font with the specified family.

Applies some workarounds for specific font quirks.

Since
QGIS 3.34

Definition at line 613 of file qgsfontutils.cpp.

◆ fontFamilyHasStyle()

bool QgsFontUtils::fontFamilyHasStyle ( const QString &  family,
const QString &  style 
)
static

Check whether font family on system has specific style.

Parameters
familyThe family to test
styleThe style to test for
Returns
Whether family has style

Definition at line 45 of file qgsfontutils.cpp.

◆ fontFamilyMatchOnSystem()

bool QgsFontUtils::fontFamilyMatchOnSystem ( const QString &  family,
QString *  chosen = nullptr,
bool *  match = nullptr 
)
static

Check whether font family is on system.

Parameters
familyThe family to test
chosenThe actual family (possibly from different foundry) returned by system
matchWhether the family [foundry] returned by system is a match
Returns
Whether family was found on system

Definition at line 100 of file qgsfontutils.cpp.

◆ fontFamilyOnSystem()

bool QgsFontUtils::fontFamilyOnSystem ( const QString &  family)
static

Check whether font family is on system in a quick manner, which does not compare [foundry].

Parameters
familyThe family to test
Returns
Whether family was found on system
Note
This is good for use in loops of large lists, e.g. registering many features for labeling

Definition at line 38 of file qgsfontutils.cpp.

◆ fontMatchOnSystem()

bool QgsFontUtils::fontMatchOnSystem ( const QFont &  f)
static

Check whether exact font is on system.

Parameters
fThe font to test for match

Definition at line 32 of file qgsfontutils.cpp.

◆ fromMimeData()

QFont QgsFontUtils::fromMimeData ( const QMimeData *  data,
bool *  ok = nullptr 
)
static

Attempts to parse the provided mime data as a QFont.

If data can be parsed as a QFont, ok will be set to true.

See also
toMimeData()

Definition at line 431 of file qgsfontutils.cpp.

◆ getStandardTestFont()

QFont QgsFontUtils::getStandardTestFont ( const QString &  style = "Roman",
int  pointsize = 12 
)
static

Gets standard test font with specific style.

Parameters
styleStyle to load, e.g. Roman, Oblique, Bold, Bold Oblique
pointsizeFont point size to set
Returns
QFont

Definition at line 317 of file qgsfontutils.cpp.

◆ loadStandardTestFonts()

bool QgsFontUtils::loadStandardTestFonts ( const QStringList &  loadstyles)
static

Loads standard test fonts from filesystem or qrc resource.

Parameters
loadstylesList of styles to load, e.g. All, Roman, Oblique, Bold, Bold Oblique
Returns
Whether any font was loaded
Note
Done by default on debug app/server startup to ensure fonts available for unit tests (Roman and Bold)

Definition at line 256 of file qgsfontutils.cpp.

◆ recentFontFamilies()

QStringList QgsFontUtils::recentFontFamilies ( )
static

Returns a list of recently used font families.

See also
addRecentFontFamily()

Definition at line 595 of file qgsfontutils.cpp.

◆ resolveFontStyleName()

QString QgsFontUtils::resolveFontStyleName ( const QFont &  font)
static

Attempts to resolve the style name corresponding to the specified font object.

If a font has been modified by calling QFont::setBold or QFont::setItalic, then its QFont::styleName may return an empty string. This method attempts to determine the correct style name which corresponds to the font's bold and italic settings.

Returns an empty string if a matching style name could not be found.

Since
QGIS 3.26

Definition at line 69 of file qgsfontutils.cpp.

◆ setFontFamily()

void QgsFontUtils::setFontFamily ( QFont &  font,

Applies some workarounds for specific font quirks.

Since
QGIS 3.34

Definition at line 601 of file qgsfontutils.cpp.

◆ setFromXmlChildNode()

bool QgsFontUtils::setFromXmlChildNode ( QFont &  font,
const QDomElement &  element,
const QString &  childNode 
)
static

Calling this will overwrite the current properties of the font.

Parameters
