This obscure "fix" fixes garbled chatwidget fonts for me. I say obscure, because all I do
is comparing the incoming string to something and don't use the result at all. That magically makes
things work here, which causes me to believe that I've triggered some gcc or Qt bug...

Please tell me if this fixes squished fonts for you as well (as in my case, it was formats wrongly applied).
