Custom Font Doesn't looks like Same on Qt

Emrecp

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

Figma:

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 I am not sure, i tried download this font from 3 different websites. Both of them are same.

@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?

@JKSH Now looks like very similar. Thanks everyone for help :)
