[webkit-qt] QtWebKit + Qt 4.8.5 embedded + fonts

[Coda Highland]

Look at QWebSettings::setFontFamily(). It's pretty simple.
Alternatively, you could define a user stylesheet in your qrc with a
rule like:

* { font-family: DejaVu Sans !important }

and set it using QWebSettings::setUserStylesheetUrl().
