• class FontFilters

Methods

• __init__ (self, QWidget parent = None)

• setCurrentFont (self, QFont f)
• setFontFilters (self, FontFilters filters)
• setWritingSystem (self, QFontDatabase.WritingSystem)
• QSize sizeHint (self)

Qt Signals

• void currentFontChanged (const QFont&)

QFontComboBox is often used in toolbars, in conjunction with a QComboBox for controlling the font size and two QToolButtons for bold and italic.

When the user selects a new font, the currentFontChanged() signal is emitted in addition to currentIndexChanged().

Call setWritingSystem() to tell QFontComboBox to show only fonts that support a given writing system, and setFontFilters() to filter out certain types of fonts as e.g. non scalable fonts or monospaced fonts.

QFontComboBox.FontFilter

This enum can be used to only show certain types of fonts in the font combo box.

The FontFilters type is a typedef for QFlags<FontFilter>. It stores an OR combination of FontFilter values.
