Comment:

 Either it wasn't really fixed, or it's back.  Reported in #3105.  It goes
 beyond vectors (maybe this originally did, but noone noticed) -- all
 layout and map composer font selection seems to be affected.

 Now with Qgis 1.5, Qt 4.6 Cocoa, both OSX 10.5 and 10.6.

 OSX 10.6 64bit: some fonts work, some fonts snap to another when selected
 and/or don't display the correct font.  I don't see any pattern of kinds
 of fonts (PS, OTF, TT, Mac) or whether they are loaded directly by the
 system from standard font folders or from a font manager.

 OSX 10.5 32bit: same behavior as this original bug - font is selected in
 the font dialog, but display doesn't change and font snaps back to Lucida
 Grande.  Though it looks like Qt 4.6 Cocoa now forces the Mac font dialog,
 whether or not the program asks for it (ie from r11287).
