I just tried again on Maemo and the font is loaded correctly. So the
problem really only seems to be Symbian.

Looks a bit scary to a Symbian noob like me :) Also I then can't load
the font from the resource file anymore. Still, if this part is missing
in Qt, it seems to be a reasonable way.

Thanks a lot for all this information. I'll give it a try as soon as
possible. BTW, do you know if there is a bug report about this already?
If not I think I should file one.
