Well here's one last sketch of an idea (and this will work well no
matter how big the file).
- Create a plain QWidget and lay it out with a vertical scrollbar.
- Set the QWidget's font to be fixed width.
- Use QFontMetrics for the fixed width font to calculate how many
characters wide the widget is and how many lines high.
- Instead of reading the entire file, just read enough to occupy the
space available and in the QWidget's paintEvent() use drawText() to
draw them.
- Set the scroll bar proportional to the size of the file and how much
can be displayed.
- If the user scrolls read in what's needed and repaint.
This approach is a lot more work but potentially it could be very fast
and also use the least amount of memory.
Good luck!
