Qml get resolved font family

There is a way to get Font family that was resolved to in Qml https://doc-snapshots.qt.io/qt5-5.9/qml-qtquick-text.html#fontInfo.family-prop

However this property is available only from Qt5.9, how can we get this info for older versions (Qt 5.4 to be precise)

The way this is done in Qt 5.9 and later is via embedding a QFontInfo in the Text object and returning a JS object to the QML with all relevant fields of the QFontInfo as keys of the object.

How I would add this in previous version is by creating a new QObject class with a Q_INVOKABLE QVariantMap fontInfo(const QFont& font).

This function would construct a QFontInfo from the font, and fill the QVariantMap with the relevant info you need.

Register it to be able to use it in QML with qmlRegisterSingletonType().

And then you could use it like that in QML :

Text {
    property var fontInfo: FontUtils.fontInfo(font)
}
