I will have a look later in the QtOctave sources to see how it was done. 
I will report this, and if you're prepared to wait for some time I will 
eventually produce a changeset, but I'm up to my eyeballs with other 
stuff at the min unfortunately.

I do remember there was an issue with Inconsolata in the editor which 
meant it was no longer monospaced when bold, but I think this was a 
QTextEdit issue.
