The decision which fonts are used as a substitute is made by the Qt library, and the algorithm probably has changed for Qt 5. If this is still an issue with recent Qt versions (5.6 or newer), please report it directly to Qt developers via https://bugreports.qt.io/

You should provide a list of available fonts, and a reason why a certain font should be used as a substitute for a specific script.
