This option controls automatic glyph generation.

Description

By default, this property is set to true to generate glyphs for all used characters in all the used font configurations. To reduce the memory footprint, set this property to false. In this case, fontcompiler will generate characters defined in font.unicodeCoverage only. For example:

readonly property font myFont1: Qt.font({ quality: Font.QualityVeryHigh })
readonly property font myFont2: Qt.font({ quality: Font.QualityVeryLow, unicodeCoverage: ["def"] })

Text {
    font: parent.myFont1
    text: "abc"
}
Text {
    font: parent.myFont2
    text: "def"
}

If autoGenerateGlyphs is set to false, then the "abc" characters in the earlier example are not rendered as the glyphs are not generated for that font configuration. The "def" characters are rendered as the font.unicodeCoverage property of myFont2 has the correct character set.

Usage

MCU.Config {
    autoGenerateGlyphs: false
}
