Today I took the time and uninstalled the 32-bit Carbon version of Qt,
and then replaced it with the 64-bit Cocoa one. All font problems went
away just like that. I didn't know that there's this big of a
difference. Since Carbon will be deprecated in the next Qt version, I
guess this isn't worth reporting.
All I can say is that if you're using Carbon Qt, it's worth replacing it
with the Cocoa version. I wish someone had told me sooner :P
