name="details"></a><h2>Detailed Description</h2> + + +The TQFont class specifies a font used for drawing text. +<p> + + + +<p> When you create a TQFont object you specify various attributes that +you want the font to have. TQt will use the font with the specified +attributes, or if no matching font exists, TQt will use the closest +matching installed font. The attributes of the font that is +actually used are retrievable from a <a href="qfontinfo.html">TQFontInfo</a> object. If the +window system provides an exact match <a href="#exactMatch">exactMatch</a>() returns TRUE. +Use <a href="qfontmetrics.html">TQFontMetrics</a> to get measurements, e.g. the pixel length of a +string using <a href="qfontmetrics.html#width">TQFontMetrics::width</a>(). +<p> Use <a href="qapplication.html#setFont">TQApplication::setFont</a>() to set the application's default font. +<p> If a choosen X11 font does not include all the characters that +need to be displayed, TQFont will try to find the characters in the +nearest equivalent fonts. When a <a href="qpainter.html">TQPainter</a> draws a character from a +font the TQFont will report whether or not it has the character; if +it does not, TQPainter will draw an unfilled square. +<p> Create TQFonts like this: +<pre> + TQFont serifFont( "Times", 10, Bold ); + TQFont sansFont( "Helvetica [Cronyx]", 12 ); + </pre> + +<p> The attributes set in the constructor can also be set later, e.g. +<a href="#setFamily">setFamily</a>(), <a href="#setPointSize">setPointSize</a>(), <a href="#setPointSizeFloat">setPointSizeFloat</a>(), <a href="#setWeight">setWeight</a>() and +<a href="#setItalic">setItalic</a>(). The remaining attributes must be set after +contstruction, e.g. <a href="#setBold">setBold</a>(), <a href="#setUnderline">setUnderline</a>(), <a href="#setOverline">setOverline</a>(), +<a href="#setStrikeOut">setStrikeOut</a>() and <a href="#setFixedPitch">setFixedPitch</a>(). <a href="qfontinfo.html">TQFontInfo</a> objects should be +created <em>after</em> the font's attributes have been set. A TQFontInfo +object will not change, even if you change the font's +attributes. The corresponding "get" functions, e.g. <a href="#family">family</a>(), +<a href="#pointSize">pointSize</a>(), etc., return the values that were set, even though +the values used may differ. The actual values are available from a +TQFontInfo object. +<p> If the requested font family is unavailable you can influence the +<a href="#fontmatching">font matching algorithm</a> by choosing a +particular <a href="#StyleHint-enum">TQFont::StyleHint</a> and <a href="#StyleStrategy-enum">TQFont::StyleStrategy</a> with +<a href="#setStyleHint">setStyleHint</a>(). The default family (corresponding to the current +style hint) is returned by <a href="#defaultFamily">defaultFamily</a>(). +<p> The font-matching algorithm has a <a href="#lastResortFamily">lastResortFamily</a>() and +<a href="#lastResortFont">lastResortFont</a>() in cases where a suitable match cannot be found. +You can provide substitutions for font family names using +<a href="#insertSubstitution">insertSubstitution</a>() and <a href="#insertSubstitutions">insertSubstitutions</a>(). Substitutions can +be removed with <a href="#removeSubstitution">removeSubstitution</a>(). Use <a href="#substitute">substitute</a>() to retrieve +a family's first substitute, or the family name itself if it has +no substitutes. Use <a href="#substitutes">substitutes</a>() to retrieve a list of a family's +substitutes (which may be empty). +<p> Every TQFont has a <a href="#key">key</a>() which you can use, for example, as the key +in a cache or dictionary. If you want to store a user's font +preferences you could use <a href="qsettings.html">TQSettings</a>, writing the font information +with <a href="#toString">toString</a>() and reading it back with <a href="#fromString">fromString</a>(). The +<a href="#operator-lt-lt">operator<<</a>() and <a href="#operator-gt-gt">operator>></a>() functions are also available, but +they work on a data stream. +<p> It is possible to set the height of characters shown on the screen +to a specified number of pixels with <a href="#setPixelSize">setPixelSize</a>(); however using +<a href="#setPointSize">setPointSize</a>() has a similar effect and provides device +independence. +<p> Under the X Window System you can set a font using its system +specific name with <a href="#setRawName">setRawName</a>(). +<p> Loading fonts can be expensive, especially on X11. TQFont contains +extensive optimizations to make the copying of TQFont objects fast, +and to cache the results of the slow window system functions it +depends upon. +<p> <a name="fontmatching"></a> +The font matching algorithm works as follows: +<ol type=1> +<li> The specified font family is searched for. +<li> If not found, the <a href="#styleHint">styleHint</a>() is used to select a replacement +family. +<li> Each replacement font family is searched for. +<li> If none of these are found or there was no styleHint(), "helvetica" +will be searched for. +<li> If "helvetica" isn't found TQt will try the <a href="#lastResortFamily">lastResortFamily</a>(). +<li> If the lastResortFamily() isn't found TQt will try the +<a href="#lastResortFont">lastResortFont</a>() which will always return a name of some kind. +</ol> +<p> Once a font is found, the remaining attributes are matched in order of +priority: +<ol type=1> +<li> <a href="#fixedPitch">fixedPitch</a>() +<li> <a href="#pointSize">pointSize</a>() (see below) +<li> <a href="#weight">weight</a>() +<li> <a href="#italic">italic</a>() +</ol> +<p> If you have a font which matches on family, even if none of the +other attributes match, this font will be chosen in preference to +a font which doesn't match on family but which does match on the +other attributes. This is because font family is the dominant +search criteria. +<p> The point size is defined to match if it is within 20% of the +requested point size. When several fonts match and are only +distinguished by point size, the font with the closest point size +to the one requested will be chosen. +<p> The actual family, font size, weight and other font attributes +used for drawing text will depend on what's available for the +chosen family under the window system. A <a href="qfontinfo.html">TQFontInfo</a> object can be +used to determine the actual values used for drawing the text. +<p> Examples: +<p> <pre> + TQFont f("Helvetica"); + </pre> + +If you had both an Adobe and a Cronyx Helvetica, you might get +either. +<p> <pre> + TQFont f1( "Helvetica [Cronyx]" ); // TQt 3.x + TQFont f2( "Cronyx-Helvetica" ); // TQt 2.x compatibility + </pre> + +You can specify the foundry you want in the family name. Both fonts, +f1 and f2, in the above example will be set to "Helvetica +[Cronyx]". +<p> To determine the attributes of the font actually used in the window +system, use a TQFontInfo object, e.g. +<pre> + <a href="qfontinfo.html">TQFontInfo</a> info( f1 ); + <a href="qstring.html">TQString</a> family = info.<a href="qfontinfo.html#family">family</a>(); + </pre> + +<p> To find out font metrics use a <a href="qfontmetrics.html">TQFontMetrics</a> object, e.g. +<pre> + <a href="qfontmetrics.html">TQFontMetrics</a> fm( f1 ); + int pixelWidth = fm.<a href="qfontmetrics.html#width">width</a>( "How many pixels wide is this text?" ); + int pixelHeight = fm.<a href="qfontmetrics.html#height">height</a>(); + </pre> + +<p> For more general information on fonts, see the +<a href="http://www.nwalsh.com/comp.fonts/FAQ/">comp.fonts FAQ.</a> +Information on encodings can be found from +<a href="http://czyborra.com/">Roman Czyborra's</a> page. +<p> <p>See also <a href="qfontmetrics.html">TQFontMetrics</a>, <a href="qfontinfo.html">TQFontInfo</a>, <a href="qfontdatabase.html">TQFontDatabase</a>, <a href="qapplication.html#setFont">TQApplication::setFont</a>(), <a href="qwidget.html#font-prop">TQWidget::font</a>, <a href="qpainter.html#setFont">TQPainter::setFont</a>(), <a href="#StyleHint-enum">TQFont::StyleHint</a>, <a href="#Weight-enum">TQFont::Weight</a>, <a href="appearance.html">Widget Appearance and Style</a>, <a href="graphics.html">Graphics Classes</a>, and <a href="shared.html">Implicitly and Explicitly Shared Classes</a>. + +<hr><h2>Member Type Documentation</h2> +<h3 class=fn><a name="Script-enum"></a>TQFont::Script</h3> + +<p> This enum represents <a href="unicode.html">Unicode</a> allocated +scripts.

It can +be queried (for example with <a href="#italic">italic</a>()) or modified (for example with +<a href="#setItalic">setItalic</a>()) and is therefore also suitable for rendering rich text. +<p> If TQt's internal font database cannot resolve the raw name, the +font becomes a raw font with <em>name</em> as its family. +<p> Note that the present implementation does not handle wildcards in +XLFDs well, and that font aliases (file <tt>fonts.alias</tt> in the font +directory on X11) are not supported. +<p> <p>See also <a href="#rawName">rawName</a>(), <a href="#setRawMode">setRawMode</a>(), and <a href="#setFamily">setFamily</a>(). + +<h3 class=fn>void <a name="setStretch"></a>TQFont::setStretch ( int factor ) +</h3> +Sets the <a href="layout.html#stretch-factor">stretch factor</a> for the font. +<p> The stretch factor changes the width of all characters in the font +by <em>factor</em> percent. For example, setting <em>factor</em> to 150 +results in all characters in the font being 1.5 times ( ie. 150% ) +wider. The default stretch factor is 100. The minimum stretch +factor is 1, and the maximum stretch factor is 4000. +<p> The stretch factor is only applied to outline fonts. The stretch +factor is ignored for bitmap fonts. +<p> NOTE: TQFont cannot stretch XLFD fonts. When loading XLFD fonts on +X11, the stretch factor is matched against a predefined set of +values for the SETWIDTH_NAME field of the XLFD. +<p> <p>See also <a href="#stretch">stretch</a>() and <a href="#StyleStrategy-enum">TQFont::StyleStrategy</a>. + +<h3 class=fn>void <a name="setStrikeOut"></a>TQFont::setStrikeOut ( bool enable ) +</h3> +If <em>enable</em> is TRUE, sets strikeout on; otherwise sets strikeout +off. +<p> <p>See also <a href="#strikeOut">strikeOut</a>() and <a href="qfontinfo.html">TQFontInfo</a>. + +<h3 class=fn>void <a name="setStyleHint"></a>TQFont::setStyleHint ( <a href="qfont.html#StyleHint-enum">StyleHint</a> hint, <a href="qfont.html#StyleStrategy-enum">StyleStrategy</a> strategy = PreferDefault ) +</h3> +Sets the style hint and strategy to <em>hint</em> and <em>strategy</em>, +respectively. +<p> If these aren't set explicitly the style hint will default to +<a href="#StyleHint-enum">AnyStyle</a> and the style strategy to <a href="#StyleStrategy-enum">PreferDefault</a>. +<p> TQt does not support style hints on X11 since this information +is not provided by the window system. +<p> <p>See also <a href="#StyleHint-enum">StyleHint</a>, <a href="#styleHint">styleHint</a>(), <a href="#StyleStrategy-enum">StyleStrategy</a>, <a href="#styleStrategy">styleStrategy</a>(), and <a href="qfontinfo.html">TQFontInfo</a>. + +<p>Examples: <a href="desktop-example.html#x1728">desktop/desktop.cpp</a> and <a href="simple-font-demo-example.html#x2844">fonts/simple-qfont-demo/viewer.cpp</a>. +<h3 class=fn>void <a name="setStyleStrategy"></a>TQFont::setStyleStrategy ( <a href="qfont.html#StyleStrategy-enum">StyleStrategy</a> s ) +</h3> +Sets the style strategy for the font to <em>s</em>. +<p> <p>See also <a href="#StyleStrategy-enum">TQFont::StyleStrategy</a>. + +<h3 class=fn>void <a name="setUnderline"></a>TQFont::setUnderline ( bool enable ) +</h3> +If <em>enable</em> is TRUE, sets underline on; otherwise sets underline +off. +<p> <p>See also <a href="#underline">underline</a>() and <a href="qfontinfo.html">TQFontInfo</a>. + +<p>Examples: <a href="simple-font-demo-example.html#x2845">fonts/simple-qfont-demo/viewer.cpp</a> and <a href="menu-example.html#x1861">menu/menu.cpp</a>. +<h3 class=fn>void <a name="setWeight"></a>TQFont::setWeight ( int weight ) +</h3> +Sets the weight the font to <em>weight</em>, which should be a value +from the <a href="#Weight-enum">TQFont::Weight</a> enumeration. +<p> <p>See also <a href="#weight">weight</a>() and <a href="qfontinfo.html">TQFontInfo</a>. + +<p>Example: <a href="simple-font-demo-example.html#x2846">fonts/simple-qfont-demo/viewer.cpp</a>. +<h3 class=fn>int <a name="stretch"></a>TQFont::stretch () const +</h3> +Returns the <a href="layout.html#stretch-factor">stretch factor</a> for the font. +<p> <p>See also <a href="#setStretch">setStretch</a>(). + +<h3 class=fn>bool <a name="strikeOut"></a>TQFont::strikeOut () const +</h3> +Returns TRUE if strikeout has been set; otherwise returns FALSE. +<p> <p>See also <a href="#setStrikeOut">setStrikeOut</a>(). + +<h3 class=fn><a href="qfont.html#StyleHint-enum">StyleHint</a> <a name="styleHint"></a>TQFont::styleHint () const +</h3> +Returns the StyleHint. +<p> The style hint affects the <a href="#fontmatching">font + matching</a> algorithm.
