Qt qpa plugin for running headless apps, with font support (extracted from phantomjs)

Phantom Qt headless qpa plugin

This is the headless platform plugin for qt, extracted from https://github.com/ariya/phantomjs. It can be used to run Qt applications without an x server.

This plugin will automatically use fontconfig whereas qt's built-in headless plugin will not.

Building

qmake
make

Copy plugins/platform/libqphantom.so to your qt platform plugin directory, likely /usr/plugins/platform/

Usage

Set the QT_QPA_PLATFORM=phantom environment variable before running your application.
