how to set fontsize for label?

**BalaQT** · 18th September 2009, 14:22

hi,
im using

lbl->setFont(QFont("Trebuchet",12,QFont::Bold));
where lbl is QLabel
for font size and font bold.
How to set FontSize directly ? (without mentioning fontname as above)
like lbl.setFontSize

Thnks
Bala

QFont font = lbl->font ();
font.setPointSize(12);//set the font size here
lbl->setFont(font);

Hi,
I don't see any problem in first way with creating font inside method setPointSize() as post BalaQt.
Maybe problem could be if font "Trebuchet" doesn't exist (then Qt maybe use another font and don't respect set size).
But if you realy only want to change font size and keep font family, the second way is ok.

[edit]: sorry .. i don't read first message properly
