Change all usings of one font to other in Qt4.2 application
Message 1 in thread
Hi!
I found that Qt4.2.2 by default uses font "Luxi Sans" for many internal roles:
in tooltips, in file dialogs and more. In my target system I have'nt this
font for every used sizes (or not for russian encodings, I don't now
exactly). And i have empty labels instead of russian text. Some of this
troubles i can evade by using other GUI-style. But not all.
I want to use other font instead of "Luxi Sans". But I don't found way to make
this. I can change font for tooltips. But for file dialog.... hm.... And
more....
I can setup X to replace all usings font Luxi Sans to other (and at this time
I made this). But I don't want to make this setup for every system I'll use
my application. :)

Then Qt shouldn't be using that font in the first place. If it does, it
could be a bug in Qt, or maybe your graphics system is misconfigured and
tells Qt font "Luxi Sans" is available in sizes or for characters that
are actually not supported.
Which exact Linux distribution is this? Have you somehow modified the
graphics subsystem (you do seem to have modified it since you have
modified the X setup)? Could you try on another system, where the
graphics subsystem has not been modified?
Finally, what did you try to set application default font?
QApplication::setFont()?

I think about this. But this Linux system build not by my and I haven't info
about it internal structure.
One thing I can say - Qt3.3.3 application works in this system properly. With
russian language too.
How I can get info about available-font-list in Qt?

I've try this. It helps. But I dislike hard-coded styles.
Thanks.

You can at least tell us which distribution this, can't you? If you
don't even know which exact distribution this is, there's not much we
can do to help.

Sure, I usually dislike that as well .But then why did you write the
following?
I want to use other font instead of "Luxi Sans".
If you want to use another font, you do have to hard-code it somehow,
don't you? If not could you explain what you're after in more detail?

From its previous posts I do the assumption that distribution is MCBC.
IIRC MCBC based on RH ~ 6.0.

Yes. It has ELK window manager (I don't now what is it:)
It looks like windows 95.

Ah, OK. Note that red Hat 6.0 is pretty old...
Otherwise don't worry about the window manager, it is usually irrelevant
for such issues.
Finally, we would still answers to the previous questions to start helping.

Now I have solve this problem by correcting config file /etc/fonts/local.conf
and adding rule to replace all usings font "Luxi Sans" to "Helvetica".
I thing this is no hard-coding? :) But i don't like this method because it
changes system-wide settings, not only for my app.
I don't wont to use QApplication::setFont() because in other systems i have
good looks fonts.
I don't know why Qt4 uses this font with incorrect sizes (maybe) while other
applications don't. I thing it may be configured but in qconfig i don't found
these settings.
Then, why qtconfig requires qt3support for building????? :) WTF???
