Hi,

On my BB10 Dev Alpha device the Qt fonts seem to be located in:

/base/usr/lib/qt4/lib/fonts

but my app is looking for them here:

/base/usr/lib/qt4/fonts

How do I make my app look for them elsewhere? How can I set an environment variable to do this please?

Thanks in advance,

Yalnte

I've tried the following additional code, but it is still saying it can't find the fonts in /base/usr/lib/qt4/fonts. I don't seem to be able to move them either (don't have enough permissions apparently).

	   QFontDatabase::removeAllApplicationFonts();
	   QString Fpath = "/base/usr/lib/qt4/lib/fonts/helvetica_80_75i.qpf";
	   QFontDatabase::addApplicationFont(Fpath);

Hello there,

to specify the font directory, add the following to your bar file

<env var="QT_QPA_FONTDIR" value="/usr/lib/qt4/lib/fonts"/>

This fixes the error from QFontDatabase on startup.

I noticed you are also attempting to use QtQui in your application, if you were not aware Cascades is a better option and has deeper integration with the system compared to QtQui, so take a look at it if you haven't done so already.

Cheers

Thanks very much - that seems to have fixed it.

I'd like to use Cascades at some point, but for now I just want to get my app ported across and working in some form!
