Add a custom font in Qt

There's anyway to add a custom font (Such as Console Font) to Qt? How? And how do we set it to a Text Editor (QPlainTextEdit, QTextEdit, etc)?

Thanks

Qt uses your window system as a font provider. You can find out all the fonts available by using the QFontDatabase class. Anyway, it is possible to add a specific custom font for your application to use using QFontDatabase::addApplicationFont from C++ (available under X11 only if fontconfig is available) or using the FontLoader component in QML.

For QTextEdit you can use this and for QPlainTextEdit you might try the font property.
