While true, that is not the complete truth.
 
You can use a platform (-platform XXX) to specify an non-X server, and use that for rendering. That's how I generated PDFs on a headless server.
"offscreen" is one, but there is a better one that escapes me at the moment.

Subject: Re: [Interest] Painting fonts without GUI
Hi,
 
you need a QGuiApplication for that. See e.g. this stackoverflow question.
 
Cheers,

Hi,
 
When I try painting text over a QImage in a console only application with QPainter::drawText, the program crashes.
 
Is there any way to enable font painting in a non GUI application? It should work without any X server, so in that case Qt should have a fallback font? This does not need to be pretty text.
 
Thanks!
