Hi - The file does render much better with that (series of patches). And now it looks like a "reasonable" default happens when I select a font which previously didn't work (some font I don't know which, is substituted - even though the default is set not to substitute). Anyway, the display is much better.
Hard to believe, but the display on Windows or GTK on Linux is better still... but at least it is usable now on Mac. Thanks for your hard work; hopefully we can get rid of the other odd issues.
