Care to explain why? As far as I can tell, Pango only ever passes one font at 
a time to fontconfig, so qual="first" will not change anything for Pango; for Qt 
(or any other library which sends a whole list of fonts to fontconfig), on the 
other hand, qual="first" is the best thing we can do. It is not ideal, but we 
cannot really do better.

And if, in the future, Qt were changed to pass only one font at a time too, 
allowing for more finegrained settings, the qual="first" would still not hurt, 
because then it'd have no effect, as is the case for Pango now.
