Hi, Yes, this is normal, in a way. OS X has this notion of private fonts, which basically correspond to the system fonts. We make it possible to be used inside Qt, and set it as the default font but, because of its nature, we keep it hidden from the end-user. The same happens with a native font picker on OS X. That is, this font is not visible to the end-user. The only exception is within Xcode, where it is simply called "System font".
If you can share your motivation for exposing such font, we will see what's possible to improve.

I have a plain basic QFontComboxBox with all default options (all fonts allowed, etc). I'm trying to set the current font to whatever is QApplication::font(). I tried both box->setCurrentText(qApp->font().family()); and box->setCurrentFont(qApp->font()); but this does not work, because strangely enough there is no such family font listed in the QFontComboBox... qApp->font().family() returns ".Helvetica Neue DeskInterface". The closest match in the list is "Helvetica Neue" but it cannot find it. As a result when the user presses OK the font is set to the first font listed, which is "Al Bayan" and gives nice results if you like fancy fonts ;) I ended up removing "." and " DeskInterface" from the string returned by qApp->font().policy() but this is just sad... Any clue?
