The AA version of Qt is not opfficially supported by TrollTech and was
merely a hack (by one of the X11 developers) to show how easy it is to use
the new font extension in X11. He explicitly said, that it only supports
iso10646-1 and 8859-1 at the moment. And it will only show scalable fonts,
as the X11 font extension can't deal with bitmap fonts at the moment. And
the third point is realted to the first one.
