drawText with two variables and each different font

Question

I dont know if its possible to chose different text font for each variable inside the same painter.

painter.drawText(80, 290, self.text1.text() + self.text2.text())

This is the example: for text1 want to leave it default as I set in the painter (boldUnderline) while text2 will have (boldUnderline) but also I want to change the text font to another one lets say Arial the point is to be different from text1 because its supposed to be in different language

Here is the full code:

underlineItalic = QFont()
underlineItalic.setItalic(True)
underlineItalic.setUnderline(True)

painter = QtGui.QPainter()
painter.setFont(boldUnderline)
painter.drawText(80, 290, self.text1.text() + self.text2.text())

Is there any option to do this on this way? If it can not be this way is there any other way?

Why not set font and style for the first text, apply `drawText` with the content, then reconfigure the painter with the other font/style settings and draw the other text with the new settings? — Szabolcs, Jan 22 '18 at 12:47
because i want them to be in the same line, i will divide them with "/" but they have to be on the same line because the second text will be the translation of the first text — koki, Jan 22 '18 at 12:57

To perform this task you can use QTextDocument, to set the format we use QTextCharFormat() where you must set a font.

doc = QTextDocument()
cursor = QTextCursor(doc)

fm = QTextCharFormat()
font = painter.font()
font.setBold(True) 
font.setUnderline(True)
fm.setFont(font) # set QFont

cursor.insertText(text1, fm) # insert text with new format.

# establish new format for example:
# font.setItalic(True) 
# font.setBold(True)

cursor.insertText(text1, fm) 
painter.translate(80, 290)
doc.drawContents(painter)

Example:

if __name__ == '__main__':
    app = QApplication(sys.argv)
    img = QImage(640, 480, QImage.Format_RGB32);
    img.fill(Qt.white);

    text1, text2 ="Stack Overflow".split()
    painter = QPainter(img);

    doc = QTextDocument()
    cursor = QTextCursor(doc)

    fm = QTextCharFormat()
    font = painter.font()
    font.setItalic(True) 
    font.setUnderline(True)
    fm.setFont(font)

    cursor.insertText(text1, fm)

    font.setItalic(True) 
    font.setBold(True)
    font.setUnderline(False)
    fm.setFont(font)

    cursor.insertText(text2, fm)

    painter.translate(80, 290)
    doc.drawContents(painter)

    painter.end();
    img.save("text.png")

Output:

You can also use html in QTextDocument:

if __name__ == '__main__':
    app = QApplication(sys.argv)
    img = QImage(640, 480, QImage.Format_RGB32);
    img.fill(Qt.white);

    text1, text2 ="Stack Overflow".split()
    painter = QPainter(img);

    doc = QTextDocument()
    cursor = QTextCursor(doc)
    cursor.insertHtml("<i><u>{first}</u></i><b><i>{second}<b></i>".format(first=text1, second=text2))

    painter.translate(80, 290)
    doc.drawContents(painter)

    painter.end();
    img.save("text.png")

Yes this works, but is there anyway to save the file like pdf no like image? i tried something but couldn't make it. After this data are in i am printing the document that is the whole point of it. — koki, Jan 24 '18 at 12:53
