Hi Rallaz,

I feel there's no reason for us not to support Qt native fonts. We will keep the stick fonts by lff, but allow any native fonts provided by Qt.

What's your idea here?

We have the efficiency when user is not required to use stick font features.

Also, I'm wondering whether we can further simplify the current LFF implementation to support full WenQuanYi utf-8 fonts.

Thanks,

dxli

Hi Andrew,
First, congratulations for your new version.

I've looked at this file:
https://github.com/qcad/qcad/blob/master/LICENSE.txt
and seems all used licenses are GPL or LGPL in version 2 or 3 except cxf files that remain closed licensed.

this prevents to distribute QCAD in most distributions forcing to make a fork

Cheers,
Rallaz
