# font QML Basic Type

a font value with the properties of QFont. The `font` type refers to a font value with the properties of QFont.

The most commonly used properties are:

- string `font.family`
- bool `font.bold`
- bool `font.italic`
- bool `font.underline`
- real `font.pointSize`
- int `font.pixelSize`

If both `pointSize` and a `pixelSize` are specified, `pixelSize` will be used.

The following properties are also available:

- enumeration `font.weight`
- bool `font.overline`
- bool `font.strikeout`
- enumeration `font.capitalization`
- real `font.letterSpacing`
- real `font.wordSpacing`

Example:

      Text { font.family: "Helvetica"; font.pointSize: 13; font.bold: true }

When integrating with C++, note that any QFont value passed into QML from C++ is automatically converted into a `font` value, and vice-versa.

This basic type is provided by the QtQuick import.

Font weighting is classified on a scale from 0 to 99, where a weight of 0 is ultralight, and 99 is extremely black. The following values are supported:

`Font.Thin` | 0
`Font.ExtraLight` | 12
`Font.Light` | 25
`Font.Normal` | 50
`Font.Medium` | 57
`Font.DemiBold` | 63
`Font.Bold` | 75
`Font.ExtraBold` | 81
`Font.Black` | 87

Capitalization supports the following values:

`Font.MixedCase` | No capitalization change is applied.
`Font.AllUppercase` | Alters the text to be rendered in all uppercase type.
`Font.AllLowercase` | Alters the text to be rendered in all lowercase type.
`Font.SmallCaps` | Alters the text to be rendered in small-caps type.
`Font.Capitalize` | Alters the text to be rendered with the first character of each word as an uppercase character.
