Hi,

One of the surprising side-effects of using the FreeType fontengine in general 
use is that I sometimes get a bitmap font, esp. in the Assistant. I'd noticed 
this on Linux too, btw.

Turns out that this happens (only?) with the Helvetica font. I do have XQuartz 
installed (with the accompanying set of bitmap fonts) but I think this is 
rather a True/OpenType font with embedded bitmaps for certain smaller sizes, 
because the effect disappears when I scale the text up.

Calling QFont::setStyleStrategy(QFont::ForceOutline) fixes the issue 
(PreferOutline is not enough, sadly). I'd love to make this a global default by 
adding it to a style or platform theme, but apparently there is no way to set a 
(change the) default style strategy?

Thanks,
R.
