[PySide] Support for 5.2

[Sean Fisk]

We are having an issue where embedded fonts (i.e., from a QRC file) are not
loading properly on OS X Mavericks. Srini, I can't tell for certain based
on your description, but it might be the issue you are having too.

We are using py2app <http://pythonhosted.org/py2app/> to distribute our
application. Although this is not a solution to the bug, we were able to
work around the issue by including the fonts as data files with py2app.
This works because it loads the font from an "external" file instead of an
embedded resource.

If that is an option for you and you would like to adapt our code, I would
be happy to provide it.

Cheers,
