[PySide] "Could not retrieve fonts from the server"

[Israel Brewster]

For what its worth, I just tried to put together a simple test case with just the basic steps needed to reproduce the issue, and was unable to generate a crash - the call to setHtml worked fine. So the problem lies elsewhere, I’m thinking some sort of race condition in my code perhaps, although I don’t really know. Thus my interest in finding where this error is actually generated, so I can see what might be different the times it crashes.
