What do you "cannot select any fonts"? You never get the font to change? The font changes but is not the expected font? You get the correct font but only garbage out?

Your string literal is possibly being misinterpreted. It could be a local 8bit encoding (i.e. not a UTF8) or your compiler could be mangling it before it even gets to Qt.
