​Try play with:

renderFont(...)

renderFont("name", "filename", "sample", size, format="PPM") -> bool
Creates an image preview of font "name" with given text "sample" and size.
If "filename" is not "", image is saved into "filename". Otherwise image
data is returned as a string. The optional "format" argument specifies the
image format to generate, and supports any format allowed by
QPixmap.save(). Common formats are PPM, JPEG, PNG and XPM.​
