Another problem (dunno if it's specific to your build or to OSX in general): text-on-path.svg contains a line in Russian (in red color) but it's missing on your screenshot. On Linux and Windows, Pango finds and uses any font with Cyrillic characters even if it's not the font specified for this text object. So either your OSX has no Cyrillic in any font at all, or Pango on OSX fails to substitute it.
Well spotted. I think that is a known problem with the Pango OSX port.
From the ToDo list[1]:
Investigate why the font substitution that should be done when a font can't be loaded (Monospace Oblique in gtk-demo for example) doesn't work (medium)
That sounds very much like it would cause the missing Cyrillic chars.
Speaking of the ToDo list, it really isn't that long, and it seems fairly comprehensive (based on the fact that every problem I'm encountered is listed on as a Todo item). So I'm going to be tackling all the easy/medium ones that I can get my head around, and will be using Inkscape as my test app so hopefully we'll see some progress.
Having said that I think it might be some time before we see things like native tablet support, which I think would be a big requirement for getting more people using it on Macs.
Cheers Derek
