QFontDialog::getFont() gets default/preset value for the font style list.

Use case:
Define the intial font and launch the QFontDialog via QFontDialog::getFont():

QFont font("DejaVu Sans Mono");
font.setWeight(QFont::Normal);
font.setPointSize(12);
bool ok;
QFontDialog::getFont(&ok, font, this);

If the QFont::Normal is not found for the font 'DejaVu Sans Mono' the Font style list selects the first item on the list. On Ubuntu 11.10 it is 'Bold'.

--> this should be changed so that style which corresponds 'Normal' is selected instead of the first item. On Ubuntu 11.10 'Book' corresponds the QFont::Normal instead of 'Bold'.

The attached example application demonstrates the use case.
Test environment: Ubuntu 11.10 + Qt4.8.0.
