That's the same sort of corruption I was getting under Windows.

Diego - Could you please prepare a Mac build that uses the Verdana
font? (set in main.cpp)

Or better, could someone please commit a patch that allows setting of
the font from the config file so people can try the various options?
This is all we need in main.cpp (for all OS/OpenGL combos):
   tmpFont.setFamily( confSettings->value("main/font_name", "DejaVu
Sans").toString() );

Dave - Hopefully you'll be able to test with a different font to help
isolate the problem - it would certainly be appreciated.
