[Qt-interest] QFont::defaultFamily() takes ridiculous share of CPU time, but only on Windows

[Philipp Münzel]

Should have mentioned that:
The "Inconsolata" font is of course present on both systems, and the renderings look identical, pixel by pixel. 

This also came to my mind, but I can rule it out. What is strange is what QFont::defaultFamily does, according to documentation
"Returns the family name that corresponds to the current style hint."

But why does it have to look for a family, when I clearly specified the font name, and it apparently loads exactly this font (otherwise the rendering would look different on Windows)?

Regards,
Philipp
