Description Jarosław Staniek 2017-04-25 12:18:39 UTC

Strikeout/underline are not available in font dialogs.

If we use KDE Plasma Desktop (XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP=KDE env. variable) or a desktop with advanced font dialog, strikeout/underline font attributes are available. Otherwise, e.g. when XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP=XFCE there's no way to set the attributes in Kexi for reports. Forms are also affected and any future use.

Scope: Windows not affected. macOS: to be checked.

Temporary workaround: try to set XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP=KDE before running Kexi.

Final solution: use the QFontDialog::DontUseNativeDialog flag to QFontDialog::getFont. 

Implementation note: fix in kexi and kproperty.

Side note: In the future font properties would be displayed in the property pane directly so the font dialog would not be necessary to change font properties.

Fix: Strikeout/underline font option not available in font dialogs on some desktops

Strikeout/underline are not available in font dialogs on non-KDE, non-Windows desktops. Issues found for XFCE which has too simplified dialog.
The solution is to force using Qt's own dialog.
