Some fonts are included with your QCAD installation under fonts/qt:
However, you likely have more suitable fonts installed on your system unless you are running the command line tools on an embedded platform.
Code: Select all
./dwg2pdf -platform offscreen ...Some fonts are included with your QCAD installation under fonts/qt:
Code: Select all
QT_QPA_FONTDIR=fonts/qt ./dwg2pdf -platform offscreen ...
