How do you change font in konqeror?

Fri Oct 30, 2009 1:26 am
Hi All.

I wanna use a different font to display Chinese (GBK encoding) when I use konqeror to visit Chinese website. The font is "WenQuanYi micro hei", and it looks MUCH better than whatever fonts that is used by default.

But I can not find a place to do that.

I googled, and there are really few resources that helps.

Thanks

Konqueror's fonts can be configured through Konqueror > Settings > Configure Konqueror > Fonts.

I had been told that I should do the font family substitution stuff with qtconfig-qt4 utility. But I couldn't find any doc that explains how that works and what I should do to change just the Chinese font.

You would need to know the family name of the Chinese font in use ( the Chinese font you wish to use should have the same name )

Using the Qt configuration utility, on the Fonts tab, select the Font Family of the font that has issues from the drop down labelled "Select or Enter a Family"

Then find the font you wish to replace it with from the "Select substitute family" drop down, and click add.
