Fonts seem to be a tricky thing to handle. I haven't looked yet,
but anybody know how Qt handles this on multiple platforms?
What I need to do is
1) get list of available font names (this seems to already be done by
the TFont property editor used at the Object Inspector)
Yes. This can be

Yes. This can be quite slow.

I think a higher abstraction will be better. Something like a list of
names that map to (font name, size, style, charset) per widgetset. We
currently have one: default. But it would be nice if the user

Yes, ok, but my point was that the user could make up his own needs for
his/her application and use those.
I suppose you could have something like this
TNamedFontItem = class
private
public
constructor Create(AFontID, AFontDesc : string);
property FontID : string
property FontDesc : string
end;
The above class is used for the mappings. You need to store a list of
The LCL provides a Delphi compatible TFont.
The widgetsets searches the nearest font.
The gtk interface also understands XLD font names, where the
font name is a 15 attribute filter.
So, basically you can select every available font under
windows and under gtk/X. But they are not cross

I have to agree, that it is quite difficult to handle fonts on
