## Detailed Description

A font selection dialog.

The KFontDialog provides a dialog for interactive font selection. It is basically a thin wrapper around the KFontChooser widget, which can also be used standalone. In most cases, the simplest use of this class is the static method KFontDialog::getFont(), which pops up the dialog, allows the user to select a font, and returns when the dialog is closed.

Example:

          QFont myFont;
          int result = KFontDialog::getFont( myFont );
          if ( result == KFontDialog::Accepted )
                ...

## Constructor & Destructor Documentation

KFontDialog::KFontDialog | ( | QWidget * | parent = `0L`,
|  | const char * | name = `0`,
|  | bool | onlyFixed = `false`,
|  | bool | modal = `false`,
|  | const QStringList & | fontlist = `QStringList()`,
|  | bool | makeFrame = `true`,
|  | bool | diff = `false`,
|  | QButton::ToggleState * | sizeIsRelativeState = `0L`
| ) |

  | Constructs a font selection dialog. Parameters:
  | parent | The parent widget of the dialog, if any.
  | name | The name of the dialog.
  | modal | Specifies whether the dialog is modal or not.
  | onlyFixed | only display fonts which have fixed-width character sizes.
  | fontlist | a list of fonts to display, in XLFD format. If no list is formatted, the internal KDE font list is used. If that has not been created, X is queried, and all fonts available on the system are displayed.
  | makeFrame | Draws a frame with titles around the contents.
  | diff | Display the difference version dialog. See getFontDiff().
  | sizeIsRelativeState | If not zero the widget will show a checkbox where the user may choose whether the font size is to be interpreted as relative size. Initial state of this checkbox will be set according to *sizeIsRelativeState, user choice may be retrieved by calling sizeIsRelative().

## Member Function Documentation

void KFontDialog::setFont | ( | const QFont & | font,
|  | bool | onlyFixed = `false`
| ) | `[inline]`

  | Sets the currently selected font in the dialog. Parameters:
  | font | The font to select.
  | onlyFixed | readjust the font list to display only fixed width fonts if true, or vice-versa
Definition at line 365 of file kfontdialog.h. Referenced by getFont(), getFontAndText(), and getFontDiff().

QFont KFontDialog::font | ( |  | ) | const`[inline]`

| Returns: The currently selected font in the dialog. Definition at line 371 of file kfontdialog.h.

void KFontDialog::setSizeIsRelative | ( | QButton::ToggleState | relative | ) | `[inline]`

| Sets the state of the checkbox indicating whether the font size is to be interpreted as relative size. NOTE: If parameter sizeIsRelative was not set in the constructor of the dialog this setting will be ignored. Definition at line 379 of file kfontdialog.h.

QButton::ToggleState KFontDialog::sizeIsRelative | ( |  | ) | const`[inline]`

| Returns: Whether the font size is to be interpreted as relative size (default: false) Definition at line 386 of file kfontdialog.h.

int KFontDialog::getFont | ( | QFont & | theFont,
|  | bool | onlyFixed = `false`,
|  | QWidget * | parent = `0L`,
|  | bool | makeFrame = `true`,
|  | QButton::ToggleState * | sizeIsRelativeState = `0L`
| ) | `[static]`

  | Creates a modal font dialog, lets the user choose a font, and returns when the dialog is closed. Parameters:
  | theFont | a reference to the font to write the chosen font into.
  | onlyFixed | if true, only select from fixed-width fonts.
  | parent | Parent widget of the dialog. Specifying a widget different from 0 (Null) improves centering (looks better).
  | makeFrame | Draws a frame with titles around the contents.
  | sizeIsRelativeState | If not zero the widget will show a checkbox where the user may choose whether the font size is to be interpreted as relative size. Initial state of this checkbox will be set according to *sizeIsRelativeState and user choice will be returned therein.
Returns: QDialog::result(). Definition at line 759 of file kfontdialog.cpp. References chooser, QDialog::exec(), KFontChooser::font, setFont(), and KFontChooser::sizeIsRelative(). Referenced by KEdit::selectFont().

int KFontDialog::getFontDiff | ( | QFont & | theFont,
|  | int & | diffFlags,
|  | bool | onlyFixed = `false`,
|  | QWidget * | parent = `0L`,
|  | bool | makeFrame = `true`,
|  | QButton::ToggleState * | sizeIsRelativeState = `0L`
| ) | `[static]`

  | Creates a modal font difference dialog, lets the user choose a selection of changes that should be made to a set of fonts, and returns when the dialog is closed. Useful for choosing slight adjustments to the font set when the user would otherwise have to manually edit a number of fonts. Parameters:
  | theFont | a reference to the font to write the chosen font into.
  | diffFlags | a reference to the int into which the chosen difference selection bitmask should be written. Check the returned bitmask like:
              if ( diffFlags & KFontChooser::FontDiffFamily )
                  [...]
              if ( diffFlags & KFontChooser::FontDiffStyle )
                  [...]
              if ( diffFlags & KFontChooser::FontDiffSize )
                  [...]
  | onlyFixed | if true, only select from fixed-width fonts.
  | parent | Parent widget of the dialog. Specifying a widget different from 0 (Null) improves centering (looks better).
  | makeFrame | Draws a frame with titles around the contents.
  | sizeIsRelativeState | If not zero the widget will show a checkbox where the user may choose whether the font size is to be interpreted as relative size. Initial state of this checkbox will be set according to *sizeIsRelativeState and user choice will be returned therein.
Returns: QDialog::result(). Definition at line 740 of file kfontdialog.cpp. References chooser, QDialog::exec(), KFontChooser::font, KFontChooser::fontDiffFlags(), setFont(), and KFontChooser::sizeIsRelative().

int KFontDialog::getFontAndText | ( | QFont & | theFont,
|  | QString & | theString,
|  | bool | onlyFixed = `false`,
|  | QWidget * | parent = `0L`,
|  | bool | makeFrame = `true`,
|  | QButton::ToggleState * | sizeIsRelativeState = `0L`
| ) | `[static]`

  | When you are not only interested in the font selected, but also in the example string typed in, you can call this method. Parameters:
  | theFont | a reference to the font to write the chosen font into.
  | theString | a reference to the example text that was typed.
  | onlyFixed | if true, only select from fixed-width fonts.
  | parent | Parent widget of the dialog. Specifying a widget different from 0 (Null) improves centering (looks better).
  | makeFrame | Draws a frame with titles around the contents.
  | sizeIsRelativeState | If not zero the widget will show a checkbox where the user may choose whether the font size is to be interpreted as relative size. Initial state of this checkbox will be set according to *sizeIsRelativeState and user choice will be returned therein.
Returns: The result of the dialog. Definition at line 778 of file kfontdialog.cpp. References chooser, QDialog::exec(), KFontChooser::font, KFontChooser::sampleText(), setFont(), and KFontChooser::sizeIsRelative().

void KFontDialog::fontSelected | ( | const QFont & | font | ) | `[signal]`

| Emitted whenever the currently selected font changes. Connect to this to monitor the font as it is selected if you are not running modal.
