Detailed Description

The FontDialog type provides a QML API for native platform font dialogs.

To show a font dialog, construct an instance of FontDialog, set the desired properties, and call open(). The currentFont property can be used to determine the currently selected font in the dialog. The font property is updated only after the final selection has been made by accepting the dialog.

MenuItem {
    text: "Font"
    onTriggered: fontDialog.open()
}

FontDialog {
    id: fontDialog
    currentFont.family: document.font
}

MyDocument {
    id: document
    font: fontDialog.font
}

Availability

A native platform font dialog is currently available on the following platforms:

• macOS
• Linux (when running with the GTK+ platform theme)

The Qt Labs Platform module uses Qt Widgets as a fallback on platforms that do not have a native implementation available. Therefore, applications that use types from the Qt Labs Platform module should link to QtWidgets and use QApplication instead of QGuiApplication.

To link against the QtWidgets library, add the following to your qmake project file:

QT += widgets

Create an instance of QApplication in main():

#include <QApplication>
#include <QQmlApplicationEngine>

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
    QApplication::setAttribute(Qt::AA_EnableHighDpiScaling);
    QApplication app(argc, argv);
    QQmlApplicationEngine engine;
    engine.load(QUrl(QStringLiteral("qrc:/main.qml")));
    return app.exec();
}
