Create a score with a title
The title is bold while the style is not bold.

More info, it could be a font family name problem. See http://stackoverflow.com/questions/20335240/qt-font-resources-work-for-…

With Qt5.3RC, the problem was still here...
After several days spent on this issue, I downloaded the FreeSerif and FreeSerifBold fonts from the freefont website and replace the ones in MuseScore. Et voilà, it's working...

In 31620b3ce5 I pushed the new font... Not tested with Qt5.2.1 yet but with Qt 5.3RC, it works!

Fixed in b3a2b92a8e
We are now using Qt 5.3 and the vanilla TTF fonts from the FreeFont project. It works on Mac OSX. The only problem was that we had to remove the fonts from mtest.qrc because G++ on windows and linux was not able to compile it for an unknown reason...

In the process, we also get good kerning on windows, and good looking fonts even at low zoom level. See #25759: pdf export gives strange results under Windows for font different from Emmentaler comment #10
