Most likely corrupt files?  That error is returned when the Qt 
QFontDatabase is unable to read a valid font from the file.  So, if it's 
not a permissions issue, I'd guess the file itself is bad.

The only other thing I could imagine is if you're running a Unix/X11 
platform without fontconfig support.  (At least in the GNU/Linux world, 
you shouldn't find that.  If this isn't GNU/Linux, then it's possible.)
