I have no idea.

Why do you ask ?

How does this relate to my question ?

I want you to check if that font was properly installed on your system. If you compare "y" or "g" from those PDFs, you'll see that they're different, which might mean that Qt uses different font on windows.

You miss the point of the original question.
The problem I am experiencing has nothing to do with fonts.
The line setting the font can be removed without problem.

Well, if you look in QPdfBaseEnginePrivate::drawTextItem, you will see that a substituted font can have an unpleasant effect.

I've seen the two pdf's and I am not sure if this is a
font problem. The only way to see what's wrong is to take Acrobat Professional and PdfCan opener and examine/compare the page streams and resource dictionaries.
I would do that, but I'm on vacation( meaning I don't have Acrobat Pro at home ).

It looks more like when an unhandled exception occurs in code .
