59<p> The QFontInfo class provides general information about fonts.
60<p>
61
62<p> The QFontInfo class provides the same access functions as <a href="qfont.html">QFont</a>,
63e.g. <a href="#family">family</a>(), <a href="#pointSize">pointSize</a>(), <a href="#italic">italic</a>(), <a href="#weight">weight</a>(), <a href="#fixedPitch">fixedPitch</a>(),
64<a href="#styleHint">styleHint</a>() etc. But whilst the QFont access functions return the
65values that were set, a QFontInfo object returns the values that
66apply to the font that will actually be used to draw the text.
67<p> For example, when the program asks for a 25pt Courier font on a
68machine that has a non-scalable 24pt Courier font, QFont will
69(normally) use the 24pt Courier for rendering. In this case,
70<a href="qfont.html#pointSize">QFont::pointSize</a>() returns 25 and <a href="#pointSize">QFontInfo::pointSize</a>() returns
7124.
72<p> There are three ways to create a QFontInfo object.
73<ol type=1>
74<li> Calling the QFontInfo constructor with a QFont creates a font
75info object for a screen-compatible font, i.e. the font cannot be
76a printer font<sup>*</sup>. If the font is changed later, the font
77info object is <em>not</em> updated.
78<p> <li> <a href="qwidget.html#fontInfo">QWidget::fontInfo</a>() returns the font info for a widget's font.
79This is equivalent to calling QFontInfo(widget->font()). If the
80widget's font is changed later, the font info object is <em>not</em>
81updated.
82<p> <li> <a href="qpainter.html#fontInfo">QPainter::fontInfo</a>() returns the font info for a painter's
83current font. If the painter's font is changed later, the font
84info object is <em>not</em> updated.
85</ol>
86<p> <sup>*</sup> If you use a printer font the values returned may be
87inaccurate. Printer fonts are not always accessible so the nearest
88screen font is used if a printer font is supplied.

92<h3 class=fn><a name="QFontInfo"></a>QFontInfo::QFontInfo ( const&nbsp;<a href="qfont.html">QFont</a>&nbsp;&amp;&nbsp;font )
93</h3>
94Constructs a font info object for <em>font</em>.
95<p> The font must be screen-compatible, i.e. a font you use when
96drawing text in <a href="qwidget.html">widgets</a> or <a href="qpixmap.html">pixmaps</a>, not <a href="qpicture.html">QPicture</a> or <a href="qprinter.html">QPrinter</a>.
97<p> The font info object holds the information for the font that is
98passed in the constructor at the time it is created, and is not
99updated if the font's attributes are changed later.
100<p> Use <a href="qpainter.html#fontInfo">QPainter::fontInfo</a>() to get the font info when painting.
101This will give correct results also when painting on paint device
102that is not screen-compatible.
103
104<h3 class=fn><a name="QFontInfo-2"></a>QFontInfo::QFontInfo ( const&nbsp;<a href="qfont.html">QFont</a>&nbsp;&amp;&nbsp;font, <a href="qfont.html#Script-enum">QFont::Script</a>&nbsp;script )

112<h3 class=fn><a name="~QFontInfo"></a>QFontInfo::~QFontInfo ()
113</h3>
114Destroys the font info object.
115
116<h3 class=fn>bool <a name="bold"></a>QFontInfo::bold () const
117</h3>
118
119<p> Returns TRUE if <a href="#weight">weight</a>() would return a value greater than <a href="qfont.html#Weight-enum">QFont::Normal</a>; otherwise returns FALSE.
120<p> <p>See also <a href="#weight">weight</a>() and <a href="qfont.html#bold">QFont::bold</a>().
121
122<p>Example: <a href="qfd-example.html#x1982">qfd/fontdisplayer.cpp</a>.
123<h3 class=fn>bool <a name="exactMatch"></a>QFontInfo::exactMatch () const
124</h3>
125Returns TRUE if the matched window system font is exactly the same
126as the one specified by the font; otherwise returns FALSE.
127<p> <p>See also <a href="qfont.html#exactMatch">QFont::exactMatch</a>().
128
129<h3 class=fn><a href="qstring.html">QString</a> <a name="family"></a>QFontInfo::family () const
