Limit QFontDialog choices to Fixed only?


Message 1 in thread

Is there a "standard" way to make the QFontDialog dialog only show fixed
width fonts? In my application I do custom rendering of hex data and only
fixed width fonts make sense.

I have considered inheriting and changing the behaviour that way, but the
non-static interfaces aren't really documented and thus I assume may change
in the future.

Thanks,
Evan

No, unfortunately not. I suggest putting a wish entry in the task tracker.

You can't override QFontDialog because there are no virtual functions to work 
on. The only option for this would be to copy the QFontDialog source and 
modify it to fit your purpose.
