I think Qt 4.4.3 didn't work with the latest Wine either. I unfortunately do
not have the system to verify this now.

The other version of wine which has been tried was very old, from 2007 or 2005
even.

We were running software on Muse Research Receptor, which runs Linux+Wine

This isn't really a patch, but a very particular solution to make a program
work on a predetermined system. This isn't something that the community can
universally benefit from:

app->setFont(QFont("Luxi Sans",8));
    QFont::insertSubstitution("Arial","Luxi Sans");
    QFont::insertSubstitution("Verdana","Luxi Sans");
    QFont::insertSubstitution("Tahoma","Luxi Sans");
    QFont::insertSubstitution("MS Sans Serif","Luxi Sans");
    QFont::insertSubstitution("Microsoft Sans Serif","Luxi Sans");
