Hi Frank,
I struggled with this a while ago
<http://lists.qt-project.org/pipermail/pyside/2013-April/001252.html>
and have it working on Windows and Mac OS X. Still having some
problems on GNU/Linux (specifically targeting Ubuntu) but my team is
working on it. We first compile some TTF files into our resources,
then import them in our program, then call this:
|# fonts.py
from PySideimport QtCore, QtGui
def init():
"""Initialize embedded fonts."""
font_dir_resource = QtCore.QResource(':/fonts')
font_resource_path = font_dir_resource.absoluteFilePath()
for ttf_filenamein font_dir_resource.children():
# DON'T use `os.path.join()' here because Qt always uses UNIX-style
# paths. On Windows `os.sep' is '\\'.
res_file = QtCore.QFile('/'.join([font_resource_path, ttf_filename]))
# Must re-open the file in read-only mode to read the contents
# correctly.
res_file.open(QtCore.QIODevice.ReadOnly)
byte_array = res_file.readAll()
QtGui.QFontDatabase.addApplicationFontFromData(byte_array)|
And to use it (snippet):
|class LoginView(QtGui.QDialog):
def __init__(self, parent=None):
super(LoginView, self).__init__(parent)
# ...
self.title_font = QtGui.QFont('YourFontName',46)
self.title_font.setStyleStrategy(QtGui.QFont.PreferAntialias)
self.title_label = QtGui.QLabel('Your text in your font')
self.title_label.setFont(self.title_font)|
Hope this helps. And if you get it working on GNU/Linux, let me know
what you did!
Cheers,

Hi all,
I am facing the challenge I'm sure many of you have had to deal
with before:
I need to make sure that the font used in my application looks as
similar as posisble between windows, linux and osx.
I am currently using 12 point Helvetica, which turns into a 16 pixel
high Sans Nimbus L on my linux box messing up my custom widget's
layouts.
What is the best practise here?
Supposedly it is possible to compile a font into a resource which
would
ensure almost identical results, right?! Has anybody ever done
this before?
Cheers,
frank
