--- Comment #78 from RJVB <rjvber...@gmail.com> --- I should have seen the Phab PR above or at least the previous comment, but somehow didn't. Why only strip the Regular styleName? The property is redundant at best and I think that the synthetic font argument applies to other styles as well. As an example: I use a Semi-Bold typeface in many cases (including as GUI font) because the corresponding regular is too light. Software emboldening of a semi-bold will )probably) not give an inferior quality bold typeface but something heavier (semi-extra-bold?). I would argue that code shouldn't have to strip redundant properties but should rather have to make some extra calls in order to obtain them - QFontInfo::styleName() in this case. I know that QFontDialog() will return fonts that have the styleName set ... but the goal of the KFont* APIs is to improve on what Qt has to offer, no? On a related note: wouldn't it be possible to obtain a QFont that has never had the styleName property set internally, and then add it, rather than depend on being able to strip it? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
