P.S. If someone wants to try and see the font rendering issue, here's a very simple example (simply a page showing some text):
https://app.box.com/s/zf1seb00bd9q2u9ji7u6 When launched automatically right after deployment (and when started from the terminal by typing Biorhythms) the font is completely different than when launched from an icon.... (Sorry, I can't find an email client that correctly follows threads on this mailinglist) >Hello, > >There is something wrong with font rendering.
