I cant press the button.. Thats what the problem is.. My code does what your code does.. But, dont know why but, I cant press the pushButton

Then rich text isn't possible with QPushButton.
But... you can set the color and style of the complete text in a pushbutton via a stylesheet.

Ok, I researched a bit and got the answer.. The code for what I wanted is:-

#include <QtGui/QApplication>
#include <QLabel>
#include <QPushButton>
#include <QtGui>
#include <QTextDocument>
 
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
    QApplication a(argc, argv);
    QMainWindow *Main=new QMainWindow;
 
    QPushButton *button = new QPushButton(Main);
    QTextDocument Text;
    Text.setHtml("<h2><i>Hello</i> ""<font color=red>Qt!</font></h2>");
 
    QPixmap pixmap(Text.size().width(), Text.size().height());
    pixmap.fill( Qt::transparent );
    QPainter painter( &pixmap );
    Text.drawContents(&painter, pixmap.rect());
 
    QIcon ButtonIcon(pixmap);
    button->setIcon(ButtonIcon);
    button->setIconSize(pixmap.rect().size());
    QObject::connect(button, SIGNAL(clicked()),Main, SLOT(close()));
    Main->show();
    return a.exec();
}

#include <QtGui/QApplication>
#include <QLabel>
#include <QPushButton>
#include <QtGui>
#include <QTextDocument>

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
    QApplication a(argc, argv);
    QMainWindow *Main=new QMainWindow;

    QPushButton *button = new QPushButton(Main);
    QTextDocument Text;
    Text.setHtml("<h2><i>Hello</i> ""<font color=red>Qt!</font></h2>");

    QPixmap pixmap(Text.size().width(), Text.size().height());
    pixmap.fill( Qt::transparent );
    QPainter painter( &pixmap );
    Text.drawContents(&painter, pixmap.rect());

    QIcon ButtonIcon(pixmap);
    button->setIcon(ButtonIcon);
    button->setIconSize(pixmap.rect().size());
    QObject::connect(button, SIGNAL(clicked()),Main, SLOT(close()));
    Main->show();
    return a.exec();
}

Setting the label as a child of the button seems like a good way to do it . The button still works as expected and has its appearance defined by the label.

#include <QApplication>
#include <QPushButton>
#include <QLabel>
 
 
 
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
    QApplication a(argc, argv);
 
    QPushButton *button = new QPushButton(NULL);
    QLabel *label = new QLabel("<h2><i>Hello</i> ""<font color=red>Qt!</font></h2>",button);
    QObject::connect(button, SIGNAL(clicked()), &a, SLOT(quit()));
    button->show();
    button->setWindowTitle("HelloWorld Test Program");
 
    label->setAlignment(Qt::AlignCenter|Qt::AlignVCenter);
    label->show();
 
    return a.exec();
}

#include <QApplication>
#include <QPushButton>
#include <QLabel>



int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
    QApplication a(argc, argv);

    QPushButton *button = new QPushButton(NULL);
    QLabel *label = new QLabel("<h2><i>Hello</i> ""<font color=red>Qt!</font></h2>",button);
    QObject::connect(button, SIGNAL(clicked()), &a, SLOT(quit()));
    button->show();
    button->setWindowTitle("HelloWorld Test Program");

    label->setAlignment(Qt::AlignCenter|Qt::AlignVCenter);
    label->show();

    return a.exec();
}
