QGLWidget renderText problem

[mbjerkne]

I am trying to show the frame rate for my gl widget with renderText. I am getting the following error, and haven't been able to find any posts about the problem.

error:
QGLContext::generateFontDisplayLists: Could not generate display lists for font 'Times'

Note:
I get this error with any font I try to use. I get it when I don't specify a font and I get it when I try to specify different fonts. Here is my code in paintGL()

void GLPanel::paintGL()
{
   .....
   .....
  // Drawing code emitted
 
  double dElapsed = time->elapsed();
  time->restart();
 
  glClear(GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT | GL_DEPTH_BUFFER_BIT);
 
  m_dFrameTimes += dElapsed/1000.0;
 
  if ( ++m_nFrames == FRAME_RATE_CALC )
  {
    m_dFrameRate = FRAME_RATE_CALC/m_dFrameTimes;
 
    m_nFrames = 0;
    m_dFrameTimes = 0.0;
  }
 
  if ( m_bShowInfo )
  {
    glPushMatrix();
    qglColor(QColor(0,0,0));
    glTranslated(0.0,0.0,0.0);
    renderText(10.0,10.0,0.0,QString("%1").arg(m_dFrameRate,0,'f',2),QFont("Times",10,QFont::Bold));
    glPopMatrix();
  }
 
  glFlush();
}

void GLPanel::paintGL()
{
   .....
   .....
  // Drawing code emitted

  double dElapsed = time->elapsed();
  time->restart();

  glClear(GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT | GL_DEPTH_BUFFER_BIT);

  m_dFrameTimes += dElapsed/1000.0;

  if ( ++m_nFrames == FRAME_RATE_CALC )
  {
    m_dFrameRate = FRAME_RATE_CALC/m_dFrameTimes;

    m_nFrames = 0;
    m_dFrameTimes = 0.0;
  }

  if ( m_bShowInfo )
  {
    glPushMatrix();
    qglColor(QColor(0,0,0));
    glTranslated(0.0,0.0,0.0);
    renderText(10.0,10.0,0.0,QString("%1").arg(m_dFrameRate,0,'f',2),QFont("Times",10,QFont::Bold));
    glPopMatrix();
  }

  glFlush();
}
