Load Roboto-Thin.ttf from system prior to bundled font file #584

Closed hosiet closed 6 years ago

Bundling a font file within plugin repository (https://github.com/albertlauncher/plugins/blob/master/qmlboxmodel/share/styles/BoxModel/fonts/Roboto-Thin.ttf) might not be ideal.

I'm wondering if there's a mechanism in QML to search system font library for same font before trying to load the font bundled. (Something equivalent to QFontDatabase in Qt?)

might not be ideal.

Why not. Whats the point in using the system font if the bundled font is guaranteed to be there?

I think this is not possible atm. Theres no qfontdatabase in QML atm and I dont want to handcraft it.
