It depends a little bit what kind of call you make. But yes, certain
"conflicting" attributes can no longer be set. A particular example reported by
many is setting bold. If you do `setStyleName("Regular")` on a Qfont,
`setBold(true)` will no longer have the intended effect, or possibly not the
same effect (apparently you can also end up with an emboldened version of the
font, rather than with the actual bold version).
Have you ever worked with professional typesetting, drawing of page-layout
applications like InDesign or Illustrator? There you don't set a font to bold,
you select another typeface from among the ones you have installed. This is of
course how fonts are designed and implemented but most of expect that
"old-fashioned inconvenience" to be hidden. IOW, flip a font to bold by hitting
Ctrl-B and you get "Foo Bold" rather than "Foo Regular-or-Whatever-you-had
turned into something looking bold". Calling `setStyleName()` brings back a bit
of that old-fashioned "pedantic" nature.
