I'm seeing other broken apps as regards fonts as tests coming through on 
the appdb. Here's a quote from the Logicworks 5.0.2 app.
"
Significantly more frequent crashes from 0.9.34 release. Menu fonts too 
small to clearly read. Close and minimize buttons replaced by dingbat 
characters, seemingly at random. Some of the fonts are inexplicably 
altered to italics and/or serif fonts from the plain sans-serif default. 
Some existing circuits were distorted and difficult to alter. and there 
are problems creating new device symbols. Tested files were found to 
still render correctly under Windows and under 0.9.34, though one was 
corrupted and unusable.
