font QML Basic Type

a font value with the properties of QFont. The font type refers to a font value with the properties of QFont.

The most commonly used properties are:

• string font.family
• bool font.bold
• bool font.italic
• bool font.underline
• real font.pointSize
• int font.pixelSize

If both pointSize and a pixelSize are specified, pixelSize will be used.

The following properties are also available:

• enumeration font.weight
• bool font.overline
• bool font.strikeout
• enumeration font.capitalization
• real font.letterSpacing
• real font.wordSpacing
• bool font.kerning
• bool font.preferShaping
• enumeration font.hintingPreference

Example:

Text { font.family: "Helvetica"; font.pointSize: 13; font.bold: true }

When integrating with C++, note that any QFont value passed into QML from C++ is automatically converted into a font value, and vice-versa.

This basic type is provided by the QtQuick import.

Font weighting is classified on a scale from 0 to 99, where a weight of 0 is ultralight, and 99 is extremely black. The following values are supported:

Font.Thin	0
Font.ExtraLight	12
Font.Light	25
Font.Normal	50
Font.Medium	57
Font.DemiBold	63
Font.Bold	75
Font.ExtraBold	81
Font.Black	87

Capitalization supports the following values:

Font.MixedCase	No capitalization change is applied.
Font.AllUppercase	Alters the text to be rendered in all uppercase type.
Font.AllLowercase	Alters the text to be rendered in all lowercase type.
Font.SmallCaps	Alters the text to be rendered in small-caps type.
Font.Capitalize	Alters the text to be rendered with the first character of each word as an uppercase character.

Setting the hinting preference only has an effect when using the "NativeRendering" render type. The property supports the following values:

Font.PreferDefaultHinting - Use the default hinting level for the target platform.

Font.PreferNoHinting - If possible, render text without hinting the outlines of the glyphs.

Font.PreferVerticalHinting - If possible, render text with no horizontal hinting, but align glyphs to the pixel grid in the vertical direction.

Font.PreferFullHinting - If possible, render text with hinting in both horizontal and vertical directions.
