You mean adding the font name into the CSS code? This seems to be the only way indeed.
However, watch out for the infinite loop:
setFont calls FontChange calls setStyleSheet calls QStyleSheetStyle::repolish(w) calls updateWidgets calls style->polish(w) calls QStyleSheetStyle::setPalette() calls w->setFont, GOTO 10.
Somehow you'll have to distinguish "setFont done by the user" from "setFont done by the style". No idea other than a nasty boolean-based re-entrancy protection...
