Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ QgsFontManager()

QgsFontManager::QgsFontManager ( QObject * parent = nullptr )

explicit

Constructor for QgsFontManager, with the specified parent object.

Note: QgsFontManager is not usually directly created, but rather accessed through QgsApplication::fontManager().

Definition at line 65 of file qgsfontmanager.cpp.

Member Function Documentation

◆ addFontFamilyReplacement()

void QgsFontManager::addFontFamilyReplacement	(	const QString &	original,
		const QString &	replacement
	)

Adds a new font replacement from the original font family to a replacement font family.

This is used to transparently map an original font family to an alternative font family, e.g. to permit graceful handling of opening projects which reference fonts which are not available on the system.

The replacement map is stored locally and persists across QGIS sessions.

If replacement is an empty string then any existing mapping for the original family will be removed.

Note: This method is thread safe.

Definition at line 87 of file qgsfontmanager.cpp.

◆ addUserFontDirectory()

void QgsFontManager::addUserFontDirectory ( const QString & directory )

Adds a directory to use for user fonts.

This directory will be scanned for any TTF or OTF font files, which will automatically be added and made available for use in the QGIS session.

Additionally, if this is the first user font directory added, any fonts downloaded via downloadAndInstallFont() will be installed into this directory.

Definition at line 2046 of file qgsfontmanager.cpp.

◆ detailsForFontDownload()

QgsFontDownloadDetails QgsFontManager::detailsForFontDownload	(	const QString &	family,
		QString &	matchedFamily
	)		const

Returns a the details for downloading the specified font family.

The returned object will contain all URLs which must be fetched to retrieve the entire font family (eg it may contain one URL per font style).

This method relies on a hardcoded list of available freely licensed fonts, and will return an invalid QgsFontDownloadDetails for any font families not present in this list.

Parameters

family	input font family name to try to match to known fonts
matchedFamily	will be set to found font family if a match was successful

Returns: details required for downloading font, or an invalid QgsFontDownloadDetails if no URL is available

Since: QGIS 3.38

Definition at line 246 of file qgsfontmanager.cpp.

◆ downloadAndInstallFont() [1/2]

void QgsFontManager::downloadAndInstallFont	(	const QgsFontDownloadDetails &	details,
		const QString &	identifier = `QString()`
	)

Downloads a font and installs in the user's profile/fonts directory as an application font, where the font family is split over multiple download URLs.

The download will proceed in a background task.

The optional identifier string can be used to specify a user-friendly name for the download tasks, e.g. the font family name if known.

See also: fontDownloaded(); fontDownloadErrorOccurred()

Since: QGIS 3.38

Definition at line 1822 of file qgsfontmanager.cpp.

◆ downloadAndInstallFont() [2/2]

void QgsFontManager::downloadAndInstallFont	(	const QUrl &	url,
		const QString &	identifier = `QString()`
	)

Downloads a font and installs in the user's profile/fonts directory as an application font, where the font family can be downloaded via a single url.

The download will proceed in a background task.

The optional identifier string can be used to specify a user-friendly name for the download tasks, e.g. the font family name if known.

See also: fontDownloaded(); fontDownloadErrorOccurred()

Deprecated:: QGIS 3.38. Use the version which takes a QgsFontDownloadDetails argument instead.

Definition at line 1906 of file qgsfontmanager.cpp.

◆ enableFontDownloadsForSession()

void QgsFontManager::enableFontDownloadsForSession ( )

Enables font downloads the the current QGIS session.

Warning: Ensure that the QgsApplication is fully initialized before calling this method.

Definition at line 213 of file qgsfontmanager.cpp.

◆ fontDownloaded

void QgsFontManager::fontDownloaded	(	const QStringList &	families,
		const QString &	licenseDetails
	)

signal

Emitted when a font has downloaded and been locally loaded.

The families list specifies the font families contained in the downloaded font.

If found, the licenseDetails string will be populated with corresponding font license details.

See also: downloadAndInstallFont(); fontDownloadErrorOccurred()

◆ fontDownloadErrorOccurred

void QgsFontManager::fontDownloadErrorOccurred	(	const QUrl &	url,
		const QString &	identifier,
		const QString &	error
	)

signal

Emitted when an error occurs during font downloading.

See also: downloadAndInstallFont(); fontDownloaded()

◆ fontFamilyReplacements()

QMap< QString, QString > QgsFontManager::fontFamilyReplacements ( ) const

Returns the map of automatic font family replacements.

This map is used to transparently map an original font family to an alternative font family, e.g. to permit graceful handling of opening projects which reference fonts which are not available on the system.

The map keys are the original font family names, and the values are the alternative replacement family to use for the font.

Note: This method is thread safe.

See also: addFontFamilyReplacement(); setFontFamilyReplacements()

Definition at line 81 of file qgsfontmanager.cpp.

◆ installFontsFromData()

bool QgsFontManager::installFontsFromData	(	const QByteArray &	data,
		QString &	errorMessage,
		QStringList &	families,
		QString &	licenseDetails,
		const QString &	filename = `QString()`,
		const QString &	extension = `QString()`
	)

Installs local user fonts from the specified raw data.

The data array may correspond to the contents of a TTF or OTF font file, or a zipped archive of font files.

Parameters

data	raw font data or zipped font data
errorMessage	will be set to a descriptive error message if the installation fails
families	will be populated with a list of font families installed from the data
licenseDetails	will be populated with font license details, if found
filename	filename hint for destination file. Will be ignored for archived content (e.g. zip file data)
extension	known file extension (eg "ttf", "otf") for font. Should be specified to avoid issues with font installation on Windows if filename is not specified (since QGIS 3.38)

Returns: true if installation was successful.

◆ installUserFonts()

void QgsFontManager::installUserFonts ( )

◆ setFontFamilyReplacements()

void QgsFontManager::setFontFamilyReplacements ( const QMap< QString, QString > & replacements )

Sets the map of automatic font family replacements.

This map is used to transparently map an original font family to an alternative font family, e.g. to permit graceful handling of opening projects which reference fonts which are not available on the system.

The map keys are the original font family names, and the values are the alternative replacement family to use for the font.

The replacement map is stored locally and persists across QGIS sessions.

◆ tryToDownloadFontFamily()

bool QgsFontManager::tryToDownloadFontFamily	(	const QString &	family,
		QString &	matchedFamily
	)

Tries to download and install the specified font family.

This method will attempt to download missing fonts, if the font download URL is known and the font is freely licensed.

Returns true if a download link for the family is known and the download has commenced, or false if the family is not known and cannot be automatically downloaded.

The actual download operation occurs in a background task, and this method returns immediately. Connect to fontDownloaded() in order to respond when the font is installed and available for use.

Warning: Before calling this method a QgsApplication must be fully initialized and a call to enableFontDownloadsForSession() made.

Parameters

family	input font family name to try to match to known fonts
matchedFamily	will be set to found font family if a match was successful

Returns: true if match was successful and the download will occur

Returns: URL to download font, or an empty string if no URL is available

Deprecated:: QGIS 3.38. Use detailsForFontDownload() instead.
