There seem to be 3 issues with Qt 4 on Mac OS X 10.9.
a) The font issue (fix here http://successfulsoftware.net/2013/1...0-9-mavericks/ ). I can reproduce this on 10.9.
b) The QDir::currentPath() issue ( https://bugreports.qt-project.org/browse/QTBUG-34300 ). Some people are reporting it returns blank. I can't reproduce this on 10.9.
c) The QFileDialog::getSaveFileName() / QFileDialog::getOpenFileName() issue ( https://bugreports.qt-project.org/browse/QTBUG-27664 ). The dialogs don't respect the dir arg passed in. I can reproduce this on 10.9.
I attach a simple sample app that reproduces c), but not b), for me on Mac OS X 10.9 using Qt 4.8.4. Do you see b) and/or c) if you build and run the attached code on 10.9?
