>> "how to use font without installing"

Try

oFont = new qfont("MyFontFile.ttf",0,0,0)
oFont.setPixelSize(20)

Then inside your widget use

setfont(oFont)

Hello Kofa

RingQt miss the QFontDatbase class, which could be necessary to do this 

I have a plan to add a group of Qt classes to RingQt, once this is done, I will let you know.

Mahmoud

Hello Kofa

The QFontDatabase class is added to RingQt in this commit:  Update RingQt - Add: QFontDatabase class · ring-lang/ring@75517ce

The sample is added in this commit:  Add Sample: samples/UsingQt/localfont/test.ring · ring-lang/ring@6bc170f

To get this update run the next command

ringpm update ringqt

Screen Shot:

Source Code:

load "guilib.ring"

oFontDB = new QFontDatabase()
loadedFontID = oFontDB.addApplicationfont("pirulen.ttf")
aFam= oFontDB.applicationfontfamilies(loadedFontID)
cFont = aFam.at(0)
oFont = new QFont(cFont,0,0,0)
oFont.setPointSize(20)

app = new QApp {
win = new QWidget() {
setWindowTitle("Load local font file")
resize(800,600)
