Detailed Description

The KFontDialog provides a dialog for interactive font selection. It is basically a thin wrapper around the KFontChooser widget, which can also be used standalone. In most cases, the simplest use of this class is the static method KFontDialog::getFont(), which pops up the dialog, allows the user to select a font, and returns when the dialog is closed.

Example:


      QFont myFont;
      int result = KFontDialog::getFont( myFont );
      if ( result == KFontDialog::Accepted )
            ...

 KFontDialog ( QWidget *parent = 0L, const char *name = 0, bool onlyFixed = false, bool modal = false, const QStringList &fontlist = QStringList(), bool makeFrame = true )

KFontDialog

Constructs a font selection dialog.

Parameters:
parentThe parent widget of the dialog, if any.

onlyFixedonly display fonts which have fixed-width character sizes.

makeFrameDraws a frame with titles around the contents.

void  setFont ( const QFont &font, bool onlyFixed = false )

setFont
