Hi,

Somewhere along the line the Qt5 native Mac font selection dialog lost the Ok & 
Cancel buttons it had under Qt4.

Real native font dialogs (tend to) have immediate effect and thus don't need a 
dedicated accepting (or cancelling) buttons. By contrast you need to hit enter 
to apply the selected new font (style, size, etc). I only realised this very 
recently (most Qt-based software I work with uses Qt's own font dialogs) and my 
first impression was that I had broken something in my install. I only 
discovered the "hit enter to proceed" trick by accident.

Dialog buttons are unusual on Mac font selection dialogs but so is having to 
confirm changes. I wouldn't be surprised if Qt's architecture requires the 
latter but in that case the former would be more intuitive.

Is the current behaviour 100% intentional?

Thanks,
René
