    Description

      When a QFont is created using QFont::fromString, and this font is set to a QPainter, the styleName is not set correctly. This is because in QFont::fromString function, the styleName is directly updated without setting the QFont::StyleNameResolved flag.

      So when setting to QPainter, QFont::resolve function will overwrite the font's styleName

       
      Example:

      QFont font("Arial");
      font.setStyleName("Italic");
      
      QFont fontFromStr;
      fontFromStr.fromString(font.toString());
      
      QPainter painter(this);
      painter.setFont(fontFromStr);
      
      qDebug() << "<<<<< " << font.toString() << QFontInfo(font).styleName() << painter.fontInfo().styleName();
      
      // Output:
      // <<<<<  "Italic" "Italic" "Regular"

      Notice the styleName printed by painter's qfontinfo is incorrect

       

      I have attached a sample project which would give different styleName when QPainter:fontInfo().styleName() is called after setting the QFont created using QFont::fromString
