  It depends a little bit what kind of call you make. But yes, certain "conflicting" \
attributes can no longer be set. A particular example reported by many is setting \
bold. If you do `setStyleName("Regular")` on a Qfont, `setBold(true)` will no longer \
have the intended effect, or possibly not the same effect (apparently you can also \
end up with an emboldened version of the font, rather than with the actual bold \
version).  
  Have you ever worked with professional typesetting, drawing of page-layout \
applications like InDesign or Illustrator? There you don't set a font to bold, you \
select another typeface from among the ones you have installed. This is of course how \
fonts are designed and implemented but most of expect that "old-fashioned \
inconvenience" to be hidden. IOW, flip a font to bold by hitting Ctrl-B and you get \
"Foo Bold" rather than "Foo Regular-or-Whatever-you-had turned into something looking \
bold". Calling `setStyleName()` brings back a bit of that old-fashioned "pedantic" \
nature.
