Yes, but I had another solution. 
Please update, I added some lines in qrichtext.cpp in the function 
QTextFormat::makeTextFormat. We have now a static 
QMap<QString /*fontname*/, QFont::CharSet /*charset, will be 
QFont::AnyCharSet*/>

This workaround works for me although it's a bad workaround. But I have not 
got it working withoutnchanging the Qt3 classes.
