Load embedded fonts ?
Message 1 in thread
Hi,
Is it possible to embedd a font locally and use it as a QFont ? Or in
other words, is it possible to use TTF fonts not installed in the OS but
loaded from either the classpath or a local directory ?

You can load the font using QFontDatabase::addApplicationFont, and then
use it as you would use any installed font.
The font can be a local file, or a resource, or an already loaded
QByteArray.

As mentioned by Volker in a separate mail, it should usually be possible
to load fonts dynamically using QFontDatabase.addApplicationFont().
However, due to a bug in Qt 4.3, this does not work on Windows in the Qt
Jambi beta. It will be fixed for the next release.
