[vtkusers] Missing TestQtLabelStrategy test ( was Re: vtkLabelPlacer - Turkish Characters)

[Jeff Baumes]

Jason Shepherd has worked on this test. I believe the issue was that
since Qt uses the underlying system fonts, each one would look a bit
differently on each system. He has integrated a workaround for this
where we tell Qt to load a specific font file, but I'm not sure
whether it was ever quite completed.
