    Description

      There are Qt warnings which I regularly observe in users' reports on our automated tracking system, since we are processing almost all Qt warning messages via our custom message handler:

      DirectWrite: CreateFontFaceFromHDC() failed (Indicates an error in an input file such as a font file.) for QFontDef(Family="MS Serif", stylename=Regular, pointsize=8.25, pixelsize=11, styleHint=5, weight=400, stretch=100, hintingPreference=0) LOGFONT("MS Serif", lfWidth=0, lfHeight=-11) dpi=96

      DirectWrite: CreateFontFaceFromHDC() failed (Indicates an error in an input file such as a font file.) for QFontDef(Family="MS Sans Serif", stylename=Regular, pointsize=8.25, pixelsize=13, styleHint=5, weight=400, stretch=100, hintingPreference=0) LOGFONT("MS Sans Serif", lfWidth=0, lfHeight=-13) dpi=96

      DirectWrite: CreateFontFaceFromHDC() failed (Indicates an error in an input file such as a font file.) for QFontDef(Family="Fixedsys", stylename=Regular, pointsize=10.5, pixelsize=16, styleHint=5, weight=400, stretch=100, hintingPreference=0) LOGFONT("Fixedsys", lfWidth=0, lfHeight=-16) dpi=96

      etc...

      They are a bit annoying and don't seem very useful, so I suggest at least lowering their severity to QtDebugMsg and/or making them categorized.
