◆ asCSS()

QString QgsFontUtils::asCSS ( const QFont font,
double  pointToPixelMultiplier = 1.0 
)
static

Returns a CSS string representing the specified font as closely as possible.

Parameters
fontQFont to convert
pointToPixelMultiplierscaling factor to apply to convert point sizes to pixel font sizes. The CSS returned by this function will always use pixels for font sizes, so this parameter should be set to a suitable value to convert point sizes to pixels (eg taking into account desination DPI)
Returns
partial CSS string, eg "font-family: Comic Sans; font-size: 12px;"
Note
added in QGIS 2.16

Definition at line 403 of file qgsfontutils.cpp.

◆ fontFamilyHasStyle()

bool QgsFontUtils::fontFamilyHasStyle ( const QString family,
const QString style 
)
static

Check whether font family on system has specific style.

Parameters
familyThe family to test
styleThe style to test for
Returns
Whether family has style
Note
Added in QGIS 2.1

Definition at line 42 of file qgsfontutils.cpp.

◆ fontFamilyMatchOnSystem()

bool QgsFontUtils::fontFamilyMatchOnSystem ( const QString family,
QString chosen = nullptr,
bool *  match = nullptr 
)
static

Check whether font family is on system.

Parameters
familyThe family to test
chosenThe actual family (possibly from different foundry) returned by system
matchWhether the family [foundry] returned by system is a match
Returns
Whether family was found on system

Definition at line 66 of file qgsfontutils.cpp.

◆ fontFamilyOnSystem()

bool QgsFontUtils::fontFamilyOnSystem ( const QString family)
static

Check whether font family is on system in a quick manner, which does not compare [foundry].

Parameters
familyThe family to test
Returns
Whether family was found on system
Note
This is good for use in loops of large lists, e.g. registering many features for labeling

Definition at line 35 of file qgsfontutils.cpp.

◆ fontMatchOnSystem()

bool QgsFontUtils::fontMatchOnSystem ( const QFont f)
static

Check whether exact font is on system.

Parameters
fThe font to test for match

Definition at line 29 of file qgsfontutils.cpp.

◆ getStandardTestFont()

QFont QgsFontUtils::getStandardTestFont ( const QString style = "Roman",
int  pointsize = 12 
)
static

Get standard test font with specific style.

Parameters
styleStyle to load, e.g. Roman, Oblique, Bold, Bold Oblique
pointsizeFont point size to set
Returns
QFont
Note
Added in QGIS 2.1

Definition at line 284 of file qgsfontutils.cpp.

◆ loadStandardTestFonts()

bool QgsFontUtils::loadStandardTestFonts ( const QStringList loadstyles)
static

Loads standard test fonts from filesystem or qrc resource.

Parameters
loadstylesList of styles to load, e.g. All, Roman, Oblique, Bold, Bold Oblique
Returns
Whether any font was loaded
Note
Done by default on debug app/server startup to ensure fonts available for unit tests (Roman and Bold)
Added in QGIS 2.1

Definition at line 221 of file qgsfontutils.cpp.

◆ setFromXmlChildNode()

bool QgsFontUtils::setFromXmlChildNode ( QFont font,
const QDomElement element,
const QString childNode 
)
static

Sets the properties of a font to match the properties stored in an XML child node.

Calling this will overwrite the current properties of the font.

Parameters
fontfont to update
elementDOM element
childNodename of child node
Returns
true if child node exists and properties were successfully read from node
Note
added in QGIS 2.10

◆ setFromXmlElement()

bool QgsFontUtils::setFromXmlElement ( QFont font,
const QDomElement element 
)
static

Sets the properties of a font to match the properties stored in an XML element.

Calling this will overwrite the current properties of the font.

Parameters
fontfont to update
elementDOM element
Returns
true if properties were successfully read from element
Note
added in QGIS 2.10

◆ standardTestFontFamily()

QString QgsFontUtils::standardTestFontFamily ( )
static

Get standard test font family.

Note
Added in QGIS 2.1

Definition at line 216 of file qgsfontutils.cpp.

◆ toXmlElement()

QDomElement QgsFontUtils::toXmlElement ( const QFont font,
QDomDocument document,
const QString elementName 
)
static

Returns a DOM element containing the properties of the font.

Parameters
fontfont
documentDOM document
elementNamename for DOM element
Returns
DOM element containing font settings
Note

◆ translateNamedStyle()

QString QgsFontUtils::translateNamedStyle ( const QString namedStyle)
static

Returns the localized named style of a font, if such a translation is available.

Parameters
namedStylea named style, i.e. "Bold", "Italic", etc
Returns
The localized named style
Note
added in QGIS 2.12
See also
untranslateNamedStyle

Definition at line 375 of file qgsfontutils.cpp.

◆ untranslateNamedStyle()

QString QgsFontUtils::untranslateNamedStyle ( const QString namedStyle)
static

Returns the english named style of a font, if possible.

Parameters
namedStylea localized named style, i.e. "Fett", "Kursiv", etc
Returns
The english named style
Note
added in QGIS 2.12
