Thanks for pointing that out, I'm sure you are right.

This situation is pretty lame, fortunately we do not use Qt for Mac OS X
development, only we have a few Macs where we do embedded development with
Mac, it would really be a show stopper (or Qt stopper) if fonts were this
erratic in something we deliver to customers.

I've now updated my System to Mac OS X 10.6.4 (Snow Leopard) and this
seems to have cured the Myriad Pro Squeezed issue, it now displays
correctly, however Times is still shown as Helvetica.
