Actually I realised that in my case I can simply inherit the system
font, because my app is meant to run inside of another host app which is
already doing the hard work with fonts.
So in my case working with QApplication.font() magically solves all my
troubles (inside the host app, not as a standalone).
I will check in with the guys who wrote the host app to see if they can
share the magic solution.

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
