Question about fonts

[Harri Pasanen]

Hi,

I took a look at the ticket.   My guess is the problem is different, 
related to locale/codec, as only the non ascii encodings fail and the 
sample code snippet does not mention anything about encodings.

 From the docs:

QString converts the const char * data into Unicode using the 
fromAscii() function. By default, fromAscii() treats character above 128 
as Latin-1 characters, but this can be changed by calling 
QTextCodec::setCodecForCStrings().

So if your source code is in utf-8 (default for modern linux distros), 
then you need to call 
QTextCodec::setCodecForCStrings(QTextCodec::codecForName("utf8"))

just guessing,

/Harri
