Yeah, but apparently not exactly as planned:

%> Assistant.app/Contents/MacOS/Assistant --fontengine=freetype
QCocoaIntegration::Options parseOptions(const QStringList &) paramList= ()
Unknown option: --fontengine=freetype


Usage: assistant [Options]
<snip>

%> Qt\ Creator.app/Contents/MacOS/Qt\ Creator --fontengine=freetype
QCocoaIntegration::Options parseOptions(const QStringList &) paramList= ()
Unknown option --fontengine=freetype
Usage: Qt Creator [OPTION]... [FILE]...
Options:
<snip>

IOW: QCocoaIntegration::QCocoaIntegration() is called with an empty paramList 
(or --fontengine is not accepted into that list), and whoever else does the 
fallback option parsing doesn't support --fontengine either.

R.
