  I have this terrible compulsion to convert Qt C++ code into Python/Qt 
code, so my Python version of Steven's code is here:

http://www.maths.lancs.ac.uk/~rowlings/Geog/Qgis/QT_Fonts_Python.zip

[files unzip into current directory so unzip this in a sub-folder of its 
own. there's only three files in it]

  unzip, run "python main.py" and if you have PyQt4 it should do the 
same as Steven's C++ example - ie on my Ubuntu box show text badly when 
scaling small point fonts up to large pixel sizes.
