<p> The QFontInfo class provides general information about fonts.
<p>
<p> The QFontInfo class provides the same access functions as <a href="qfont.html">QFont</a>, e.g.
<a href="#family">family</a>(), <a href="#pointSize">pointSize</a>(), <a href="#italic">italic</a>(), <a href="#weight">weight</a>(), <a href="#fixedPitch">fixedPitch</a>(), <a href="#styleHint">styleHint</a>()
etc. But whilst the QFont access functions return the values that were
set, a QFontInfo object returns the values that apply to the font that
will actually be used to draw the text.
<p> For example, when the program asks for a 25pt Courier font on a
machine that has a 24pt Courier font but not a scalable one, QFont
will (normally) use the 24pt Courier for rendering. In this case,
<a href="qfont.html#pointSize">QFont::pointSize</a>() returns 25 and <a href="#pointSize">QFontInfo::pointSize</a>() 24.
<p> There are three ways to create a QFontInfo object.
<ol type=1>
<li> Calling the QFontInfo constructor with a QFont creates a font info
object for a screen-compatible font, i.e. the font cannot be a printer
font<sup>*</sup>. If the font is changed later, the font info object
is <em>not</em> updated.
<p> <li> <a href="qwidget.html#fontInfo">QWidget::fontInfo</a>() returns the font info for a widget's font. This
is equivalent to calling QFontInfo(widget->font()). If the widget's
font is changed later, the font info object is <em>not</em> updated.
<p> <li> <a href="qpainter.html#fontInfo">QPainter::fontInfo</a>() returns the font info for a painter's current
font. The font info object is <em>automatically</em> updated if you set
a new painter font.
</ol>
<p> <sup>*</sup> If you use a printer font the values returned will
almost certainly be inaccurate. Printer fonts are not always
accessible so the nearest screen font is used if a printer font is
supplied.
<p> <p>See also <a href="qfont.html">QFont</a>, <a href="qfontmetrics.html">QFontMetrics</a>, <a href="qfontdatabase.html">QFontDatabase</a>, <a href="graphics.html">Graphics Classes</a> and <a href="shared.html">Implicitly and Explicitly Shared Classes</a>.
<hr><h2>Member Function Documentation</h2>
<h3 class=fn><a name="QFontInfo"></a>QFontInfo::QFontInfo ( const <a href="qfont.html">QFont</a> & font )
</h3> Constructs a font info object for <em>font</em>.
<p> The font must be screen-compatible, i.e. a font you use when drawing
text in <a href="qwidget.html">widgets</a> or <a href="qpixmap.html">pixmaps</a>.
<p> The font info object holds the information for the font that is
passed in the constructor at the time it is created, and is not
updated if the font's attributes are changed later.
<p> Use the <a href="qpainter.html#fontInfo">QPainter::fontInfo</a>() function to get the font info when
painting. This is a little slower than using this constructor, but it
always gives correct results because the font info data is updated.
<h3 class=fn><a name="QFontInfo-2"></a>QFontInfo::QFontInfo ( const <a href="qfontinfo.html">QFontInfo</a> & fi )
</h3> Constructs a copy of <em>fi</em>.
<h3 class=fn><a name="~QFontInfo"></a>QFontInfo::~QFontInfo ()
</h3> Destroys the font info object.
<h3 class=fn>bool <a name="bold"></a>QFontInfo::bold () const
</h3>
<p> Returns TRUE if <a href="#weight">weight</a>() would return a value greater than
<a href="qfont.html#Weight-enum">QFont::Normal</a>; otherwise returns FALSE.
<p> <p>See also <a href="#weight">weight</a>() and <a href="qfont.html#bold">QFont::bold</a>().
<h3 class=fn>bool <a name="exactMatch"></a>QFontInfo::exactMatch () const
</h3>
Returns TRUE if the matched window system font is exactly the same
as the one specified by the font.
<p> <p>See also <a href="qfont.html#exactMatch">QFont::exactMatch</a>().
<h3 class=fn><a href="qstring.html">QString</a> <a name="family"></a>QFontInfo::family () const
</h3>
Returns the family name of the matched window system font.
<p> <p>See also <a href="qfont.html#family">QFont::family</a>().
<p>Example: <a href="simple-qfont-demo-walkthrough.html#x2398">fonts/simple-qfont-demo/viewer.cpp</a>.
<h3 class=fn>bool <a name="fixedPitch"></a>QFontInfo::fixedPitch () const
</h3>
Returns the fixed pitch value of the matched window system font.
<p> <p>See also <a href="qfont.html#fixedPitch">QFont::fixedPitch</a>().
<h3 class=fn>bool <a name="italic"></a>QFontInfo::italic () const
</h3>
Returns the italic value of the matched window system font.
<p> <p>See also <a href="qfont.html#italic">QFont::italic</a>().
<h3 class=fn><a href="qfontinfo.html">QFontInfo</a> & <a name="operator-eq"></a>QFontInfo::operator= ( const <a href="qfontinfo.html">QFontInfo</a> & fi )
</h3> Assigns the font info in <em>fi</em>.
<h3 class=fn>int <a name="pixelSize"></a>QFontInfo::pixelSize () const
</h3>
Returns the pixel size of the matched window system font.
<p> <p>See also <a href="qfont.html#pointSize">QFont::pointSize</a>().
<h3 class=fn>int <a name="pointSize"></a>QFontInfo::pointSize () const
</h3>
Returns the point size of the matched window system font.
<p> <p>See also <a href="qfont.html#pointSize">QFont::pointSize</a>().
<p>Example: <a href="simple-qfont-demo-walkthrough.html#x2399">fonts/simple-qfont-demo/viewer.cpp</a>.
<h3 class=fn>bool <a name="rawMode"></a>QFontInfo::rawMode () const
</h3> Returns TRUE if the font is a raw mode font.
<p> If it is a raw mode font, all other functions in QFontInfo will return the
same values set in the <a href="qfont.html">QFont</a>, regardless of the font actually used.
<p> <p>See also <a href="qfont.html#rawMode">QFont::rawMode</a>().
<h3 class=fn><a href="qfont.html#StyleHint-enum">QFont::StyleHint</a> <a name="styleHint"></a>QFontInfo::styleHint () const
</h3>
Returns the style of the matched window system font.
<p> Currently only returns the style hint set in <a href="qfont.html">QFont</a>.
<p> <p>See also <a href="qfont.html#styleHint">QFont::styleHint</a>() and <a href="qfont.html#StyleHint-enum">QFont::StyleHint</a>.
<h3 class=fn>int <a name="weight"></a>QFontInfo::weight () const
</h3>
Returns the weight of the matched window system font.
<p> <p>See also <a href="qfont.html#weight">QFont::weight</a>() and <a href="#bold">bold</a>().
