[Bf-committers] 2.5 UI font

QT is wonderful but it can't do what Blender can with the inputs and I
for one would miss that. I also love blender because it is the fastest
loading and starting software that I have and the most responsive. I
bet we would loose all that with QT. PyQT has a restrictive licence
but QT is good.
