FYI: font problems with Qt 3.3 and MSVC9
Message 1 in thread
Hi,
I tried to compile Qt 3.3.6 with MSVC9. The compilation worked fine,
but menus had a very large font for me. A customer reported that he
the fonts were way too small for him. I looked a bit closer at the
problem and found a patch:

Just in case somebody else runs into this problem (AFAIK, Trolltech no
longer supports the Qt 3.3 line; but there are certainly people out
there still using Qt 3.3).
