How about the original topic , any thoughts on what might be going on?

This has been happening to me, also on a Mac. Greg

I sent a link to this to Joe, who has a MAC and can test.

Thank you, Connie!

Also happening to me but I am using Windows.

I tried it on 1.187 with Libian SC Regular and all is ok but on 2.04 the board goes to default font and preview shows correct font. This is just one example.

It seems there is an issue where the fonts reported present in the OS (primarily MacOS X) have weights, stretch, etc style keywords in the name of the font but when queried back for a family of that name report no such family found, resulting in the default being used. This has led us down the rabbit hole of font naming, check this out for an imcomplete list of possible keywords: http://blog.extensis.com/fonts/abbre...font-names.php.
We are going to get code into the next release to correctly handle the most common cases and fail more gracefully in the cases we can't handle.
We can add new keywords as they're discovered, but we've already seen that "Arial Black" is a font family, NOT the Arial family with weight Black. - CONFLICT!

Looks like a rabbit hole with multiple hidden exits.. Thanks for the hard work!
