    Hi,
    I am using Custom Font: Exo2 SemiBold
    When I try to use this font on my QT project, it doesn't look like same with originally (in Figma, WordPad)

    My Font:
    WeTransfer Link

    EXO2.png

    Figma:
    Figma.png

    My code:

    QFontDatabase.applicationFontFamilies(QFontDatabase.addApplicationFont(":/source/img/f_Exo2_SemiBold.otf"))
    self.FONT_EXO_12 = QFont("Exo 2 Semi Bold", 12)
    self.FONT_EXO_12_2= QFont('Exo2', 12) # both doesn't look like same as on Figma

      Hi,

      Did you check that you are getting the exact font you are requesting ?

          @SGaist But as you can see in WordPad, this font in WordPad, looks like in Figma.

            • What is the value returned by QFontDatabase.addApplicationFont()? (It returns -1 if it failed to load the font)
            • Print the list that is returned by QFontDatabase.applicationFontFamilies() -- Is your custom font available in the list?

              @JKSH

              addf = QFontDatabase.addApplicationFont(":/source/img/f_Exo2_SemiBold.otf") # returns 0
              self.fontName= QFontDatabase.applicationFontFamilies(addf)
              print(self.fontName) # ['Exo 2 Semi Bold']
              

              Still looks like same.

                @Emrecp said in Custom Font Doesn't looks like Same on Qt:

                Still looks like same.

                I had a closer look at your screenshots.

                • Your Qt app's rendering of "Origin" looks very similar to Wordpad's rendering of "Origin"
                • Your Qt app's rendering of "Oyunu Başlat" looks very similar to Figma's rendering of "Oyunu Başlat".

                What is the problem?

                self.FONT_EXO_12 = QFont("Exo 2 Semi Bold", 12)
                

                How does it look when you use font size 72 instead of 12?
