a font family.</p>
<p>The combobox is populated with an alphabetized list of font
family names, such as Arial, Helvetica, and Times New Roman. Family
names are displayed using the actual font when possible. For fonts
such as Symbol, where the name is not representable in the font
itself, a sample of the font is displayed next to the family
name.</p>
<p>QFontComboBox is often used in toolbars, in conjunction with a
<a href="qcombobox.html">QComboBox</a> for controlling the font
size and two <a href="qtoolbutton.html">QToolButton</a>s for bold
and italic.</p>
<p>When the user selects a new font, the <a href="qfontcombobox.html#currentFontChanged">currentFontChanged</a>()
signal is emitted in addition to <a href="qcombobox.html#currentIndexChanged">currentIndexChanged</a>().</p>
<p>Call <a href="qfontcombobox.html#writingSystem-prop">setWritingSystem</a>() to
tell QFontComboBox to show only fonts that support a given writing
system, and <a href="qfontcombobox.html#fontFilters-prop">setFontFilters</a>() to
filter out certain types of fonts as e.g. non scalable fonts or
monospaced fonts.</p>

font combo box.</p>
