How to register a font with Qt?

[Vadi]

Hi,

I'd like to ship a font with my program. How can I register it with Qt so it's able to find it?

I suspect what I'm looking at is registering the font on every platform individually... but I'm not able to find any information about this.

See QFontDatabase (static public members).

Thanks a bunch, I missed a function there.

Another small thing - what is the best way to check if a font is installed? I think it would be better to check if the system already has it and only then use mine.

Is quering QFontDatabase::families and then searching inside the list ok?

Nevermind, it's all good. Thanks for your tip!
