做过Web前端开发的一定对Font Awesome不会陌生，Font Awesome号称是为Bootstrap设计的完美图标字体，经常出现在各类网页中，非常流行。
这么好的资源，能不能在Qt应用程序中使用呢？答案是肯定的。而且使用起来非常简单。
1. 先来了解下 Font Awesome 的一些特性：
更多关于Font Awesome可以前往其官网【了解详情】。
2. 下载 Font Awesome（本示例使用的是Font-Awesome-3.2.1版）
解压后得到的文件如下：
【font】目录下的【fontawesome-webfont.ttf】为我们需要的文件，其他文件暂时先忽略。
3. 创建一个Qt项目，并将字体文件【fontawesome-webfont.ttf】添加到项目资源中
4.接下来，先编写一个帮助类，帮助我们更方便的使用FontAwesome

说明：
这个类有两个作用：一是加载字体；二是将图标名称定义成枚举，方便后面使用。
关于图标名称的定义，可以查看【font-awesome.css】这个文件中的相关内容。
图标名称和图片的对应可以查看FontAwesome官网
5. 在主窗口中使用FontAwesome字体显示图标
1 // mainwindow.h 2 #ifndef MAINWINDOW_H 3 #define MAINWINDOW_H 4 5 #include <QMainWindow> 6 #include <QFont> 7 8 namespace Ui { 9 class MainWindow; 10 } 11 12 class MainWindow : public QMainWindow 13 { 14 Q_OBJECT 15 16 public: 17 explicit MainWindow(QWidget *parent = 0); 18 ~MainWindow(); 19 20 private: 21 Ui::MainWindow *ui; 22 QFont font; 23 24 // QWidget interface 25 protected: 26 virtual void paintEvent(QPaintEvent *event); 27 }; 28 29 #endif // MAINWINDOW_H
使用FontAwesome字体
1 MainWindow::MainWindow(QWidget *parent) : 2 QMainWindow(parent), 3 ui(new Ui::MainWindow), 4 font(FontAwesomeIcons::Instance().getFont()) 5 { 6 ui->setupUi(this); 7 this->font.setPointSize(16); 8 }
在paintEvent中绘制字体图标
1 void MainWindow::paintEvent(QPaintEvent *event) 2 { 3 Q_UNUSED(event); 4 5 QPainter painter(this); 6 painter.setPen(QColor("#000000")); 7 painter.setFont(this->font); 8 9 painter.drawText(10,30, FontAwesomeIcons::Instance().getIconChar(FontAwesomeIcons::IconIdentity::icon_android)); 10 painter.drawText(30,30, "icon_android"); 11 12 painter.drawText(200,30, FontAwesomeIcons::Instance().getIconChar(FontAwesomeIcons::IconIdentity::icon_desktop)); 13 painter.drawText(230,30, "icon_desktop"); 14 15 painter.drawText(10,70, FontAwesomeIcons::Instance().getIconChar(FontAwesomeIcons::IconIdentity::icon_user)); 16 painter.drawText(30,70, "icon_user"); 17 18 painter.drawText(200,70, FontAwesomeIcons::Instance().getIconChar(FontAwesomeIcons::IconIdentity::icon_github)); 19 painter.drawText(230,70, "icon_github"); 20 21 painter.drawText(10,110, FontAwesomeIcons::Instance().getIconChar(FontAwesomeIcons::IconIdentity::icon_circle)); 22 painter.drawText(30,110, "icon_circle"); 23 24 painter.drawText(200,110, FontAwesomeIcons::Instance().getIconChar(FontAwesomeIcons::IconIdentity::icon_circle_blank)); 25 painter.drawText(230,110, "icon_circle_blank"); 26 27 }
6.最终完成效果如下图所示

7.注意事项，如果在正式项目中使用Font Awesome，别忘了了解一下【使用协议】。
