wxQt build does not honor --enable-privatefonts (Issue #26403)

[AtesComp]

AtesComp created an issue (wxWidgets/wxWidgets#26403)

Build System Used

I build wxWidgets and/or my application using:

• CMake
• configure
• mingw32-make with makefile.gcc
• MSBuild (Microsoft Visual Studio solution file)
• nmake with makefile.vc
• Xcode

Description

On Linux, when building wxQt, the configure script does not honor --enable-privatefonts.

Platform and version information

• wxWidgets version you are building: 3.3.3
• wxWidgets port you are building: wxQt
• OS and its version: Kubuntu 25.10
• Compiler being used: gcc
• Non-default compiler options, if any: none

Start for Possible Fix:

Edit the "configure" script:

• After the first if test "$wxUSE_PRIVATE_FONTS" = "yes"; then line:
  Change line if test "$wxUSE_GTK" = 1; then
  to if test "$wxUSE_GTK" = 1 -o "$wxUSE_QT" = 1; then

Edit "include/wx/chkconf.h":

• Change # if !defined(__WXMSW__) && !defined(__WXGTK__) && !defined(__WXOSX__)
  to # if !defined(__WXMSW__) && !defined(__WXGTK__) && !defined(__WXQT__) && !defined(__WXOSX__)

I've tested a build with the above changes and it complete without error. However, its missing all the Pango hookups present in wxGtk:

• font.cpp
• font.h
• private.h and
• the private subdirectory code

so the calls are undefined in wxQt.

The wxQt arch should likely directly use:
QFontDatabase.addApplicationFont(const QString &)
as a call in its to be created wxFontBase::AddPrivateFont(const wxString &) wrapper.

This mitigates replicating the wxGtk code using Pango.

Support for this is indeed not implemented in wxQt, please consider making a PR if you know how to implement it.

TIA!

Yes, I'm looking into doing a PR.

I'm also looking into other Font method parity with wxGtk as well. The Enumeration code is giving me a head loop me at the moment. Some wxQt methods in the Font related code look like they are missing. I plan on ordering them similarly so they compare well and documenting differences, etc.
