Detailed Description

Provides a font for widget text.

This class provides basic capabilities to set the display format of text in a widget. The following settings can be set in the font:

• Face
• Point size
• Bold
• Italic
• Underline

Additional properties can be set on the font by creating a Qt font object calling setQFont(). The font's properties can also be returned as a QFont by calling getQFont() to provide flexibility for connecting to other widgets.
