Font glyph issue
-
Hey all, first time here, never knew you all existed until today ;)
Having an issue with a third party app, developed using QT. I unpacked the installer, and that's how I discovered QT.
So, the 3rd party company is too big to offer any help, but their app is built using QT. On one of their dialog boxes, all the fonts are showing as glyphs. This only happens on one of our PCs. Has anyone experienced anything like this?
I am guessing it's a corrupt font or mismatched substitution, but if I get an idea where to look, it might help. And maybe I'll even jump over and try building a few QT apps in the process (unfortunately, just a lowly CSS/JS/HTML dev currently)
Here's a screenshot of what I am seeing
Thanks for any insights.
Cheers, MadDogDean

Hi and welcome to devnet,
One thing you can do is start the application on the command line. There might be output shown there hinting at what is going wrong.

Hi! It looks like it is applying the dingbat font for the text (I'm guessing it's using it for icons). It could be that it depends on specific system fonts being available and accidentally falls back to the dingbat font when they aren't found. For additional information on the command line, you can try setting the following environment variable and then run it from the command line like @SGaist suggests:
QT_LOGGING_RULES=qt.text.font.*=true
or
QT_LOGGING_RULES=qt.qpa.fonts=true
