It lets you add a directory of application-specific fonts to the config. There is also FcConfigAppFontAdd() to add a single font file. They are mentioned in fontconfig(3) and also in the fontconfig-devel manual. I am not familiar with how Qt interacts with fontconfig. There may be something in the Qt api to call those, or you may have to do so manually. I'd take a look thru the Qt src for where it calls FcInit(), FcInitLoadConfig() and/or FcInitLoadConfigAndFonts(). -JimC -- James Cloos <cloos@xxxxxxxxxxx> OpenPGP: 1024D/ED7DAEA6 _______________________________________________ Fontconfig mailing list Fontconfig@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/fontconfig
