    • Bug
    • Resolution: Unresolved

    Description

      Run the following code on Windows:

          QFont lQfont_ArialBlk;
    lQfont_ArialBlk.setFamily("Arial Black");
    lQfont_ArialBlk.setWeight(QFont::Black);
    qDebug() << QFontInfo(lQfont_ArialBlk).family() << QFontInfo(lQfont_ArialBlk).weight();

      It will print out "Arial Black" and 50. Setting the weight on the QFont query makes no difference.

      The actual weight of the Arial Black font is 87.
