Comment(by kyngchaos):

 I've been meaning to poke at this, so here's some more test results.  I
 changed the dialog code to force non-native for all Cocoa Qt, then tried
 some fonts.

 - At any time, when a font manager is used (the pro kind that enables
 fonts in-place instead of copying to standard font folders), Qt ignores
 the DontUseNativeDialog flag and shows the native font dialog, with all
 its problems.  Otherwise,

 - Initially, the Qt font dialog is shown.  Font selections don't snap back
 to other fonts, BUT some fonts still don't work, ie they display as
 Helvetica.

 Once a font is selected and OK'd (back to the map display, but not back to
 the labeling dialog), one of two things may happen the next time the font
 dialog is shown:

 - If the font selected previously was a working font, the Qt font dialog
 is shown again,

 - If the font selected previously was not working (displays as Helvetica),
 the native Mac font dialog is shown.
