DESCRIPTION
       The QFontInfo class provides general information about fonts.

       The QFontInfo class provides the same access functions as QFont, e.g.
       family(), pointSize(), italic(), weight(), fixedPitch(), styleHint()
       etc. But whilst the QFont access functions return the values that were
       set, a QFontInfo object returns the values that apply to the font that
       will actually be used to draw the text.

       For example, when the program asks for a 25pt Courier font on a machine
       that has a non-scalable 24pt Courier font, QFont will (normally) use
       the 24pt Courier for rendering. In this case, QFont::pointSize()
       returns 25 and QFontInfo::pointSize() returns 24.

       There are three ways to create a QFontInfo object. <ol type=1>

       1      Calling the QFontInfo constructor with a QFont creates a font
	      info object for a screen-compatible font, i.e. the font cannot
	      be a printer font<sup>*</sup>. If the font is changed later, the
	      font info object is not updated.

       2      QWidget::fontInfo() returns the font info for a widget's font.
	      This is equivalent to calling QFontInfo(widget->font()). If the
	      widget's font is changed later, the font info object is not
	      updated.

       3      QPainter::fontInfo() returns the font info for a painter's
	      current font. If the painter's font is changed later, the font
	      info object is not updated.

       <sup>*</sup> If you use a printer font the values returned may be
       inaccurate. Printer fonts are not always accessible so the nearest
       screen font is used if a printer font is supplied.

       See also QFont, QFontMetrics, QFontDatabase, Graphics Classes, and
       Implicitly and Explicitly Shared Classes.

MEMBER FUNCTION DOCUMENTATION
QFontInfo::QFontInfo ( const QFont & font )
       Constructs a font info object for font.

       The font must be screen-compatible, i.e. a font you use when drawing
       text in widgets or pixmaps, not QPicture or QPrinter.

       The font info object holds the information for the font that is passed
       in the constructor at the time it is created, and is not updated if the
       font's attributes are changed later.

       Use QPainter::fontInfo() to get the font info when painting. This will
       give correct results also when painting on paint device that is not
       screen-compatible.

QFontInfo::QFontInfo ( const QFont & font, QFont::Script script )
       Constructs a font info object for font using the specified script.

QFontInfo::QFontInfo ( const QFontInfo & fi )
       Constructs a copy of fi.

QFontInfo::~QFontInfo ()
       Destroys the font info object.

bool QFontInfo::bold () const
       Returns TRUE if weight() would return a value greater than
       QFont::Normal; otherwise returns FALSE.

       See also weight() and QFont::bold().

       Example: qfd/fontdisplayer.cpp.

bool QFontInfo::exactMatch () const
       Returns TRUE if the matched window system font is exactly the same as
       the one specified by the font; otherwise returns FALSE.

       See also QFont::exactMatch().

QString QFontInfo::family () const
       Returns the family name of the matched window system font.

       See also QFont::family().

       Examples:

bool QFontInfo::fixedPitch () const
       Returns the fixed pitch value of the matched window system font.

       See also QFont::fixedPitch().

bool QFontInfo::italic () const
       Returns the italic value of the matched window system font.

       See also QFont::italic().

       Example: qfd/fontdisplayer.cpp.

QFontInfo & QFontInfo::operator= ( const QFontInfo & fi )
       Assigns the font info in fi.

int QFontInfo::pixelSize () const
       Returns the pixel size of the matched window system font.

       See also QFont::pointSize().

int QFontInfo::pointSize () const
       Returns the point size of the matched window system font.

       See also QFont::pointSize().

       Examples:

bool QFontInfo::rawMode () const
       Returns TRUE if the font is a raw mode font; otherwise returns FALSE.

       If it is a raw mode font, all other functions in QFontInfo will return
       the same values set in the QFont, regardless of the font actually used.

       See also QFont::rawMode().

QFont::StyleHint QFontInfo::styleHint () const
       Returns the style of the matched window system font.

       Currently only returns the style hint set in QFont.

       See also QFont::styleHint() and QFont::StyleHint.

int QFontInfo::weight () const
       Returns the weight of the matched window system font.

       See also QFont::weight() and bold().
