2.1 hmm ...

The log :

OK, so QFontDatabase claims it's there, and available.

So, we try to use it :

Yikes, we couldn't set the font ! We tried to set the family to cmsy10,
Cmsy10, and even tried using a setRawName(), they *all* failed.

Sanity check, what $LANG do you use ? I wonder...

This is looking like a Qt bug to me, it makes no sense. Anybody ?
