✨ NAME ✨

⭐ Static Public Members ⭐

👑 DESCRIPTION 👑

The QFontManager class implements font management in Qt/Embedded. no cap. 🫶

There is one and only one QFontManager per Qt/Embedded application — main character energy, there can only be one. The qt_fontmanager global variable points to it. 👑

It keeps:

  • a list of font factories 🏭
  • a cache of rendered fonts 💾
  • a list of fonts available on disk 📂

QFontManager gets called when a new font needs to be rendered from a Freetype-compatible or BDF font on disk. important though: this only happens if there isn't an appropriate QPF font already available. so like, if a QPF font is already serving looks, we don't bother. periodt.

See also Qt/Embedded. 💜

🎀 MEMBER FUNCTION DOCUMENTATION 🎀

QFontManager::QFontManager ()

Creates a font manager. 💖 This method reads in the font definition file from INSTALL/lib/fonts/fontdir, where INSTALL is the directory where Qt/Embedded was installed — yes, the whole path, don't skip it, it matters — and creates a list of QDiskFonts to hold the information in the file. It also constructs any defined font factories. slay. ✨

QFontManager::~QFontManager ()

Destroys the QFontManager and sets qt_fontmanager to 0. goodbye queen, the pointer is now null. 😭

void QFontManager::cleanup () [static]

Destroys the font manager. 🧹

QDiskFont * QFontManager::get ( const QFontDef & f )

Returns the QDiskFont that best matches f, based on family, weight, italicity and font size. it's giving matchmaker fr fr. 🔥

void QFontManager::initialize () [static]

Creates a new QFontManager and points qt_fontmanager to it. ✨
