Question

I want to print some text and image designed by qtdesigner.

How could I change font and another format in QTextDocument ?

document.print_(printer) is very convenient but it is not a little flexible.

Because you don't use QTextEdit , you must edit the format information by your code only. (except for setHtml in advance.) If you draw QPrinter document as you like, you can use QPainter .

Normarly, although QPainter is used in paintEvent(self, event) , only if you set a subclass of QPaintDevice to constructor of QPainter , you can draw as you like. But you must calculate the allocation exactly.

QPrinter is a subclass of QPaintDevice .

The topleft of QPainter.drawText is the bottom line of Text.

_{(x, y)→} MY TEXT

My Result

If you want to use QTextCursor , you can set Font & format by using the method of QTextCursor .

You can get the similar result by this code. I recommend this if you don't hope high control.

Other Solution

def handlePaintRequest(self, printer):
    document = QtGui.QTextDocument()
    cursor = QtGui.QTextCursor(document)
    
    cursor.insertImage("logo4.jpg")
    cursor.insertBlock()
    charFormat = cursor.charFormat()
    charFormat.setFont(QtGui.QFont("Segoe UI Light", 18))
    cursor.insertText('MY TEXT', charFormat)

    document.print_(printer)
