Detailed Description

Properties of type font default to the application's default font.

The most commonly used properties are:

• string font.family
• bool font.bold
• bool font.italic
• bool font.underline
• real font.pointSize
• int font.pixelSize

If both pointSize and a pixelSize are specified, pixelSize will be used.

The following properties are also available:

• enumeration font.weight
• bool font.overline
• bool font.strikeout
• enumeration font.capitalization
• real font.letterSpacing
• real font.wordSpacing
• bool font.kerning
• bool font.preferShaping
• enumeration font.hintingPreference
• string font.styleName

Example:

    Text {
        font.family: "Helvetica"
        font.pointSize: 13
        font.bold: true
    }

As font is a structured value type, it can also be constructed with a JavaScript object:

    readonly property font myFont: ({
        family: "Helvetica",
        pointSize: 13,
        bold: true
    })

When integrating with C++, note that any QFont value passed into QML from C++ is automatically converted into a font value, and vice-versa.

This value type is provided by the QtQuick import.

Numerical values for font weights follow the CSS specification, where a weight of 100 is extremely light, and 900 is extremely bold. The following values are supported:

Capitalization supports the following values:

Setting the hinting preference only has an effect when using the "NativeRendering" render type. The property supports the following values:
