for our widgets that paint their own UI, e.g. pushbuttons, they should 
probably default to Plasma::Theme::font (which itself defaults back to the 
desktop defaults) and use QGraphicsWidget::font() if it has been explicitly 
set. nativeWidget()->font() can probably be ignored unless we're painting 
"native" style.

what do you think?

afaik it is not.

probably by watching for FontChanged events. see the docu for 
QGraphicsWidget::setFont
