[Interest] Multi language/font display in qt4

[Simone]

Hello Bo,
Thank you for your reply.

Are you sure of that?
I read some article about fontconfig and seems that there is a solution, but i have not understood how it work.

Maybe someone have experience with fontconfig and qt embedded?

Thanks
Simone
