[Qgis-user] font settings on mac (Fwd: Comments on the QGIS map composer)

[William Kyngesburye]

This is fixed in SVN.  It requires at least Qt Cocoa 4.7.1 since it was a Qt bug that ignored a flag passed to the font dialog (Qt Carbon is not affected, so the Mac dialog is used then).  Note that using the Qt font dialog is really a workaround because there are still (apparently) bugs in the native font dialog.  Also, while all fonts can be selected, some still don't display correctly.  And some odd font styles don't even show up in the choices.

"Mon Dieu! but they are all alike.  Cheating, murdering, lying, fighting, and all for things that the beasts of the jungle would not deign to possess - money to purchase the effeminate pleasures of weaklings.  And yet withal bound down by silly customs that make them slaves to their unhappy lot while firm in the belief that they be the lords of creation enjoying the only real pleasures of existence....
