font QML Basic Type

a font value with the properties of QFont. The font type refers to a font value with the properties of QFont.

The most commonly used properties are:

• string font.family
• bool font.bold
• bool font.italic
• bool font.underline
• real font.pointSize
• int font.pixelSize

If both pointSize and a pixelSize are specified, pixelSize will be used.

The following properties are also available:

• enumeration font.weight
• bool font.overline
• bool font.strikeout
• enumeration font.capitalization
• real font.letterSpacing
• real font.wordSpacing
• bool font.kerning
• bool font.preferShaping
• enumeration font.hintingPreference

Example:

Text { font.family: "Helvetica"; font.pointSize: 13; font.bold: true }

When integrating with C++, note that any QFont value passed into QML from C++ is automatically converted into a font value, and vice-versa.

This basic type is provided by the QtQuick import.

Font weighting is classified on a scale from 0 to 99, where a weight of 0 is ultralight, and 99 is extremely black. The following values are supported:

Capitalization supports the following values:

Setting the hinting preference only has an effect when using the "NativeRendering" render type. The property supports the following values:

Font.PreferDefaultHinting - Use the default hinting level for the target platform.

Font.PreferNoHinting - If possible, render text without hinting the outlines of the glyphs.

Font.PreferVerticalHinting - If possible, render text with no horizontal hinting, but align glyphs to the pixel grid in the vertical direction.

Font.PreferFullHinting - If possible, render text with hinting in both horizontal and vertical directions.
