How set Native text renderer globaly?

[hvorovk]

Hello,
I trying to set native render globaly for my qml app. I tried to use QQuickWindow#setTextRenderType. But there is a problem, that method should be called before main.qml load otherwise it won't work at all (app will use Qt renderer). So i tried to load temporal file, then use setTextRenderType and then load main.qml, as i see it is not a good solution and it is looking bad. So any idea how can i do this in better way? There is a small example of main c++

#include <QGuiApplication>
#include <QQmlApplicationEngine>
#include <QQuickWindow>

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
QCoreApplication::setAttribute(Qt::AA_EnableHighDpiScaling);

    QGuiApplication app(argc, argv);

    QQmlApplicationEngine engine;

    engine.load(QUrl(QStringLiteral("qrc:/qml/tempItem.qml")));
    QQuickWindow* window = qobject_cast<QQuickWindow*>(engine.rootObjects().first());
    window->setTextRenderType(QQuickWindow::TextRenderType::NativeTextRendering);
    engine.load(QUrl(QStringLiteral("qrc:/qml/main.qml")));

    if (engine.rootObjects().isEmpty())
        return -1;

    return app.exec();

tempItem.qml

import QtQuick 2.0
Item { }

main.qml

import QtQuick 2.12
import QtQuick.Window 2.12
import QtQuick.Controls 2.12

ApplicationWindow {
    visible: true
    width: 300
    height: 300

    Label {
          anchors.centeIn: parent
          text: "Hello world!"
    }
}

The QQuickWindow::setTextRenderType() is a static method and sets the application-wide default text rendering method. You can call it in C++ code before engine.load() or even before your QQmlApplicationEngine object is instantiated.

@martin_ky, do you know how to invoke that via python3 (with PyQt6 or PySide6)? If not, do you know where that information might be available...? https://stackoverflow.com/questions/43369016/can-i-globally-switch-to-native-text-rendering-in-qt-quick-controls-2 doesn't help much.

it the solution. How to mark this as solved?

@BEEDELL-ROKE-JULIAN-LOCKHART hi, you can use the "Topic Tools" button or the three doted menu beside the answer your deem correct.

@SGaist,

I don't see it.

@BEEDELL-ROKE-JULIAN-LOCKHART my bad, I did not saw that you were not the thread author. As such you cannot mark it solved.
