-.SH DESCRIPTION
-The QFont class specifies a font used for drawing text.
-.PP
-When you create a QFont object you specify various attributes that you want the font to have. Qt will use the font with the specified attributes, or if no matching font exists, Qt will use the closest matching installed font. The attributes of the font that is actually used are retrievable from a QFontInfo object. If the window system provides an exact match exactMatch() returns TRUE. Use QFontMetrics to get measurements, e.g. the pixel length of a string using QFontMetrics::width().
-.PP
-Use QApplication::setFont() to set the application's default font.
-.PP
-If a choosen X11 font does not include all the characters that need to be displayed, QFont will try to find the characters in the nearest equivalent fonts. When a QPainter draws a character from a font the QFont will report whether or not it has the character; if it does not, QPainter will draw an unfilled square.
-.PP
-Create QFonts like this:
-.PP
-.nf
-.br
- QFont serifFont( "Times", 10, Bold );
-.br
- QFont sansFont( "Helvetica [Cronyx]", 12 );
-.br
-.fi
-.PP
-The attributes set in the constructor can also be set later, e.g. setFamily(), setPointSize(), setPointSizeFloat(), setWeight() and setItalic(). The remaining attributes must be set after contstruction, e.g. setBold(), setUnderline(), setOverline(), setStrikeOut() and setFixedPitch(). QFontInfo objects should be created \fIafter\fR the font's attributes have been set. A QFontInfo object will not change, even if you change the font's attributes. The corresponding "get" functions, e.g. family(), pointSize(), etc., return the values that were set, even though the values used may differ. The actual values are available from a QFontInfo object.
-.PP
-If the requested font family is unavailable you can influence the font matching algorithm by choosing a particular QFont::StyleHint and QFont::StyleStrategy with setStyleHint(). The default family (corresponding to the current style hint) is returned by defaultFamily().
-.PP
-The font-matching algorithm has a lastResortFamily() and lastResortFont() in cases where a suitable match cannot be found. You can provide substitutions for font family names using insertSubstitution() and insertSubstitutions(). Substitutions can be removed with removeSubstitution(). Use substitute() to retrieve a family's first substitute, or the family name itself if it has no substitutes. Use substitutes() to retrieve a list of a family's substitutes (which may be empty).
-.PP
-Every QFont has a key() 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 QSettings, writing the font information with toString() and reading it back with fromString(). The operator<<() and operator>>() functions are also available, but they work on a data stream.
-.PP
-It is possible to set the height of characters shown on the screen to a specified number of pixels with setPixelSize(); however using setPointSize() has a similar effect and provides device independence.
-.PP
-Under the X Window System you can set a font using its system specific name with setRawName().
-.PP
-Loading fonts can be expensive, especially on X11. QFont contains extensive optimizations to make the copying of QFont objects fast, and to cache the results of the slow window system functions it depends upon.
-.PP
-The font matching algorithm works as follows: <ol type=1>
-.IP 1
-The specified font family is searched for.
-.IP 2
-If not found, the styleHint() is used to select a replacement family.
-.IP 3
-Each replacement font family is searched for.
-.IP 4
-If none of these are found or there was no styleHint(), "helvetica" will be searched for.
-.IP 5
-If "helvetica" isn't found Qt will try the lastResortFamily().
-.IP 6
-If the lastResortFamily() isn't found Qt will try the lastResortFont() which will always return a name of some kind.
-.PP
-Once a font is found, the remaining attributes are matched in order of priority: <ol type=1>
-.IP 7
-fixedPitch()
-.IP 8
-pointSize() (see below)
-.IP 9
-weight()
-.IP 10
-italic()
-.PP
-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.
-.PP
-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.
-.PP
-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 QFontInfo object can be used to determine the actual values used for drawing the text.
-.PP
-Examples:
-.)l
-.PP
-.nf
-.br
- QFont f("Helvetica");
-.br
-.fi
-If you had both an Adobe and a Cronyx Helvetica, you might get either.
-.PP
-.nf
-.br
- QFont f1( "Helvetica [Cronyx]" ); // Qt 3.x
-.br
- QFont f2( "Cronyx-Helvetica" ); // Qt 2.x compatibility
-.br
-.fi
-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]".
-.PP
-To determine the attributes of the font actually used in the window system, use a QFontInfo object, e.g.
-.PP
-.nf
-.br
- QFontInfo info( f1 );
-.br
- QString family = info.family();
-.br
-.fi
-.PP
-To find out font metrics use a QFontMetrics object, e.g.
-.PP
-.nf
-.br
- QFontMetrics fm( f1 );
-.br
- int pixelWidth = fm.width( "How many pixels wide is this text?" );
-.br
- int pixelHeight = fm.height();
-.br
-.fi

-.PP
-See also QMap.
-.SH "QString QFont::lastResortFamily () const"
-Returns the "last resort" font family name.
-.PP
-The current implementation tries a wide variety of common fonts, returning the first one it finds. Is is possible that no family is found in which case a null string is returned.
-.PP
-See also lastResortFont().
-.SH "QString QFont::lastResortFont () const"
-Returns a "last resort" font name for the font matching algorithm. This is used if the last resort family is not available. It will always return a name, if necessary returning something like" fixed" or "system".
-.PP
-The current implementation tries a wide variety of common fonts, returning the first one it finds. The implementation may change at any time, but this function will always return a string containing something.
-.PP
-It is theoretically possible that there really isn't a lastResortFont() in which case Qt will abort with an error message. We have not been able to identify a case where this happens. Please report it as a bug if it does, preferably with a list of the fonts you have installed.
-.PP
-See also lastResortFamily() and rawName().
-.SH "bool QFont::operator!= ( const QFont & f ) const"
-Returns TRUE if this font is different from \fIf\fR; otherwise returns FALSE.
-.PP
-Two QFonts are considered to be different if their font attributes are different. If rawMode() is enabled for both fonts, only the family fields are compared.
-.PP
-See also operator==().
-.SH "QFont & QFont::operator= ( const QFont & font )"
-Assigns \fIfont\fR to this font and returns a reference to it.
-.SH "bool QFont::operator== ( const QFont & f ) const"
-Returns TRUE if this font is equal to \fIf\fR; otherwise returns FALSE.
-.PP

-Returns the point size of the font. Returns -1 if the font size was specified in pixels.
-.PP
-See also pointSize(), setPointSizeFloat(), pixelSize(), QFontInfo::pointSize(), and QFontInfo::pixelSize().
-.SH "void QFont::qwsRenderToDisk ( bool all = TRUE )"
-Saves the glyphs in the font that have previously been accessed as a QPF file. If \fIall\fR is TRUE (the default), then before saving, all glyphs are marked as used.
-.PP
-If the font is large and you are sure that only a subset of characters will ever be required on the target device, passing FALSE for the \fIall\fR parameter can save a significant amount of disk space.
-.PP
-Note that this function is only applicable on Qt/Embedded.
-.SH "bool QFont::rawMode () const"
-Returns TRUE if raw mode is used for font name matching; otherwise returns FALSE.
-.PP
-See also setRawMode() and rawName().
-.SH "QString QFont::rawName () const"
-Returns the name of the font within the underlying window system.
-.PP
-On Windows, this is usually just the family name of a TrueType font.
-.PP
-On X11, it is an XLFD (X Logical Font Description). When Qt is build with Xft support on X11, the return value can be an Xft pattern or an XLFD.
-.PP
-Using the return value of this function is usually \fInot\fR \fIportable\fR.

-.SH "void QFont::setBold ( bool enable )"
-If \fIenable\fR is true sets the font's weight to QFont::Bold; otherwise sets the weight to QFont::Normal.
-.PP
-For finer boldness control use setWeight().
-.PP
-See also bold() and setWeight().
-.PP
-Examples:
-.)l menu/menu.cpp and themes/metal.cpp.
-.SH "void QFont::setDefaultFont ( const QFont & f )\fC [static]\fR"
-\fBThis function is obsolete.\fR It is provided to keep old source working. We strongly advise against using it in new code.
-.PP
-Please use QApplication::setFont() instead.
-.SH "void QFont::setFamily ( const QString & family )"
-Sets the family name of the font. The name is case insensitive and may include a foundry name.
-.PP
-The \fIfamily\fR name may optionally also include a foundry name, e.g. "Helvetica [Cronyx]". (The Qt 2.x syntax, i.e." Cronyx-Helvetica", is also supported.) If the \fIfamily\fR is available from more than one foundry and the foundry isn't specified, an arbitrary foundry is chosen. If the family isn't available a family will be set using the font matching algorithm.
-.PP
-See also family(), setStyleHint(), and QFontInfo.
-.SH "void QFont::setFixedPitch ( bool enable )"
-If \fIenable\fR is TRUE, sets fixed pitch on; otherwise sets fixed pitch off.
-.PP
-See also fixedPitch() and QFontInfo.
-.SH "void QFont::setItalic ( bool enable )"
-If \fIenable\fR is TRUE, italic is set on; otherwise italic is set off.
-.PP
-See also italic() and QFontInfo.
-.PP
-Examples:
-.)l fileiconview/qfileiconview.cpp, fonts/simple-qfont-demo/viewer.cpp, and themes/metal.cpp.
-.SH "void QFont::setOverline ( bool enable )"
-If \fIenable\fR is TRUE, sets overline on; otherwise sets overline off.
-.PP
-See also overline() and QFontInfo.
-.SH "void QFont::setPixelSize ( int pixelSize )"
-Sets the font size to \fIpixelSize\fR pixels.
-.PP
-Using this function makes the font device dependent. Use setPointSize() or setPointSizeFloat() to set the size of the font in a device independent manner.
-.PP
-See also pixelSize().
-.PP
-Example: qwerty/qwerty.cpp.
-.SH "void QFont::setPixelSizeFloat ( float pixelSize )"
-\fBThis function is obsolete.\fR It is provided to keep old source working. We strongly advise against using it in new code.
-.PP
-Sets the logical pixel height of font characters when shown on the screen to \fIpixelSize\fR.
-.SH "void QFont::setPointSize ( int pointSize )"
-Sets the point size to \fIpointSize\fR. The point size must be greater than zero.
-.PP
-See also pointSize() and setPointSizeFloat().
-.PP
-Example: fonts/simple-qfont-demo/viewer.cpp.
-.SH "void QFont::setPointSizeFloat ( float pointSize )"
-Sets the point size to \fIpointSize\fR. The point size must be greater than zero. The requested precision may not be achieved on all platforms.
-.PP
-See also pointSizeFloat(), setPointSize(), and setPixelSize().
-.SH "void QFont::setRawMode ( bool enable )"
-If \fIenable\fR is TRUE, turns raw mode on; otherwise turns raw mode off. This function only has an effect under X11.
-.PP
-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 \fIcannot\fR 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).
-.PP
-\fBWarning:\fR Do not use raw mode unless you really, really need it! In most (if not all) cases, setRawName() is a much better choice.
-.PP
-See also rawMode() and setRawName().
-.SH "void QFont::setRawName ( const QString & name )"
-Sets a font by its system specific name. The function is particularly useful under X, where system font settings (for example X resources) are usually available in XLFD (X Logical Font Description) form only. You can pass an XLFD as \fIname\fR to this function.
-.PP
-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.
-.PP
-If Qt's internal font database cannot resolve the raw name, the font becomes a raw font with \fIname\fR as its family.
-.PP
-Note that the present implementation does not handle wildcards in XLFDs well, and that font aliases (file \fCfonts.alias\fR in the font directory on X11) are not supported.
-.PP
-See also rawName(), setRawMode(), and setFamily().
-.SH "void QFont::setStretch ( int factor )"
-Sets the stretch factor for the font.
-.PP
-The stretch factor changes the width of all characters in the font by \fIfactor\fR percent. For example, setting \fIfactor\fR 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.
-.PP
-The stretch factor is only applied to outline fonts. The stretch factor is ignored for bitmap fonts.
-.PP
-NOTE: QFont 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.
-.PP
-See also stretch() and QFont::StyleStrategy.
-.SH "void QFont::setStrikeOut ( bool enable )"
-If \fIenable\fR is TRUE, sets strikeout on; otherwise sets strikeout off.
-.PP
-See also strikeOut() and QFontInfo.
-.SH "void QFont::setStyleHint ( StyleHint hint, StyleStrategy strategy = PreferDefault )"
-Sets the style hint and strategy to \fIhint\fR and \fIstrategy\fR, respectively.
-.PP
-If these aren't set explicitly the style hint will default to AnyStyle and the style strategy to PreferDefault.
-.PP
-Qt does not support style hints on X11 since this information is not provided by the window system.
-.PP
-See also StyleHint, styleHint(), StyleStrategy, styleStrategy(), and QFontInfo.
-.PP
-Examples:
-.)l desktop/desktop.cpp and fonts/simple-qfont-demo/viewer.cpp.
-.SH "void QFont::setStyleStrategy ( StyleStrategy s )"
-Sets the style strategy for the font to \fIs\fR.
-.PP
-See also QFont::StyleStrategy.
-.SH "void QFont::setUnderline ( bool enable )"
-If \fIenable\fR is TRUE, sets underline on; otherwise sets underline off.
-.PP
-See also underline() and QFontInfo.
-.PP
-Examples:
-.)l fonts/simple-qfont-demo/viewer.cpp and menu/menu.cpp.
-.SH "void QFont::setWeight ( int weight )"
-Sets the weight the font to \fIweight\fR, which should be a value from the QFont::Weight enumeration.
-.PP
-See also weight() and QFontInfo.
-.PP
-Example: fonts/simple-qfont-demo/viewer.cpp.
-.SH "int QFont::stretch () const"
