Detailed Description

A widget for interactive font selection.

While KFontChooser as an ordinary widget can be embedded in custom dialogs and therefore is very flexible, in most cases it is preferable to use the convenience functions in KFontDialog.

enum FontColumn { FamilyList=0x01, StyleList=0x02, SizeList=0x04, CharsetList=0x08 }

FontColumn

 KFontChooser (QWidget *parent = 0L, const char *name = 0L, bool onlyFixed = false, const QStringList &fontList = QStringList(), bool makeFrame = true, int visibleListSize=8 )

KFontChooser

Constructs a font picker widget.

Parameters:
parentThe parent widget.
nameThe widget name.
onlyFixedFontsOnly display fonts which have fixed-width character sizes.
fontListA list of fonts to display, in XLFD format. If no list is formatted, the internal KDE font list is used. If that has not been created, X is queried, and all fonts available on the system are displayed.
visibleListSizeThe minimum number of visible entries in the fontlists.
