I've found that using the freetype font engine dramatically improves
performance in parts of our application that do a lot of text rendering. Is
there any way to set this style hint without actually modifying the
QCocoaIntegration source code and rebuilding Qt? We'd like to be able to
give users of our application the ability to play around with these
settings some.
