[Qt4-preview-feedback] Qt 4.5/Cocoa font rendering regression

Hello Qt team,

In Qt 4.4 you changed font rendering on the Mac to use OS X's native 
font rendering engine for QPainter::drawText(), which gave a big 
improvement in legibility and smoothness of fonts.

However, in Qt 4.5/Cocoa it seems to have gone back to the old method, 
with text back to being blotchy and less legible again.  Hence this 
seems to be a regression in 4.5.0/Cocoa relative to the 4.4 font rendering.

Any chance this could be addressed in 4.5.1?

Many thanks and best regards,
Martin Dyde.
