QFontDatabase:Cannot find font directory

[soumya]

Hi All,

I am trying to run a Qt application on Arm board

./dro -qws

I get the following error:
QFontDatabase: Cannot find font directory /usr/local/Trolltech/QtEmbedded-4.5.2-arm/lib/fonts - is Qt installed correctly?
Aborted.

Any help or suggestions asap.:)

Missing font file！
eg.
cp fontdir /usr/local/Trolltech/QtEmbedded-4.5.2-arm/lib/fonts
cp msyh.ttf /usr/local/Trolltech/QtEmbedded-4.5.2-arm/lib/fonts

More details:
You can be found in the QtAssistant Or Google “Fonts in Qt/Embedded” 。

Hi,

Thanks for the reply i have copied the fonts file after that also i am getting the same error..

when i copy that font directory all the file names get changed in the target
so renamed it as it is in the host, but still the same error.


Thanks & Regards,
Soumya

Hi Roberto,

copy the fonts from /usr/local/Trolltech/QtEmbedded-4.5.2-arm/lib/fonts to your target
say /opt/qt/lib/fonts/
then set the environment variable like
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/qt/lib/

It worked for me hope for you too

Regards,
Soumya

Someone actually solved this problem? I configured the font to the right directory in my device but it still complain's about not finding the font directory.

Hi

For me the solution was as described above:

1.- copy a valid fonts directory (in this case a Qt compiled for x86, or the host machine) into the target rootfs system. i.e.
cp -r /home/Documents/qt-x86/lib/fonts /external_sdcard_mounted_point/home/user/lib/fonts-qt
2.- set the variable QT_QWS_FONTDIR to the new created directory. i.e.
export QT_QWS_FONTDIR=/home/user/lib/fonts-qt/

Then I run in the target machine the example for analogclock and it worked perfectly
