>>> To put it fast and dirty but not incorrect:

>>> Vanilla is not shipping “deja vu sans mono”,
>>> Can you give screen-shots with this font installed on your Mac?
>>> May be your patches render the same as Linux & Windows.
>>>
>>> And remember the startup flags:
>>>
>>> -font-size <n>     -- specify default font size in points
>>> -font-face <name>  -- specify default font
>>> -font-weight <name>-- specify default font weight (normal or bold)
