Qt searches Fonts from Operating System's FONTS directory, can I include fonts from a specific directory instead of OS Fonts directory.

This works for Win/Mac not for X11.

QFontDatabase::addApplicationFont()

QFontDatabase::addApplicationFont()

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode

Thanks for your reply.

Could you educate how to use this, when I tried to use this with

QString Fpath = "C:/Fonts/Mangal";
QFontDatabase::addApplicationFont(Fpath);

this returns a " -1 ", could you educate me on this front.

thanks
