Andrew, I think I may have a clue how to fix the font discrepancies. Apple owns patents on some a byte code interpreter for hinting truetype fonts:
http://freetype.sourceforge.net/patents.html and freetype can be built with the patented stuff turned on but the default is off -- freetype has non-patented auto-hinting which is what is used by default. However, according to a thread I found here (see the first post by RobK) ubuntu hardy heron, which is what you are using on the buildbot, has the patented stuff *turned on* by default: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/ubuntu/enable-smooth-fonts-on-ubuntu-linux/ According to RobK, you can reconfigure your ubuntu system to turn these off. He suggests: To use autohinting, use the hint in this post, or just run the following command: sudo dpkg-reconfigure fontconfig-config then choose “autohinter”, then choose “always”, then choose “no” Give it a test and hopefully we will see both bots go green. Then we can focus on more tests and nightly builds...
