I am in a similar situation. I have so far a bunch of fonts with the usual glyphs for numbers and western languages, plus one font for Chinese only. When the application is in Chinese, the fonts specified make the default fonts picked up first (e.g. for numbers), and the Chinese characters with the Chinese font for the rest. I will have to add Korean and Japanese, and my understanding is that both share with Chinese values in the Unicode table, but different fonts have to be used, so a language change would require loading and unloading fonts. From a quick look, QFontDatabase states that loading and unloading fonts without fontconfig is not possible. > That's the sort of thing fontconfig usually does. But fontconfig is not used in Qt for embedded Linux, isn't it? :-( Ender: I'm in a similar situation. I will have to look at that soon. If you find something, please comment. I will do the same. -- Alejandro Exojo Piqueras ModpoW, S.L.
