Although installing it won\'t help you as the font error is not what stops the game from working.
I only put it there to make myself feel more comfortable.

Yeah I was just surprised that it worked in spite of my stats AND the fact it\'s buggy at the moment anyway.

I suspect it may have some problem with NVIDIA graphics cards. My friend has an iBook (ATI) and an eMac (NVIDIA) and the game only runs on the iBook.

Mac OSX Specific Issues / I can actually play the game

After all the posts about problems with the current Mac version of the client, I thought you might like to know that it sort of works on at least one Mac.
I downloaded the game yesterday, followed the instructions for updating using updater.jar, and then tried to play it after fiddling with the settings.

I did get the missing font error about DejaVuSans.ttf, although it doesn\'t stop the game from launching (I guess that font is no longer actually used or something.) I downloaded the font anyway and put it into data/ttf/ just to make myself feel better. The error doesn\'t show up any more.

When I play at the standard resolution of 1024*760 everything looks right until I reach the login menu, where the text is unreadable because each letter is replaced by a yellow square. Note that it did this before I fiddled with the fonts too, so that can\'t be the cause.
At 800*600 it gets messy. The background to every screen is covered with some sort of noise and mushed up versions of whatever is in the background behind PlaneShift. On the plus side, the text becomes readable (just, I really don\'t like that drop shadow), and the 3d elements such as the middle of the character creation screen, and the game itself, still work.
I created a character with only one crash, and started the game.
It hung just after I found out how to move.

My stats are:
Machine Model: iMac DVSE
CPU Type: PowerPC 750  (83.2)
CPU Speed: 400 MHz
Memory: 256 MB
Graphics: ATI ATY,Rage128VR
Bus: AGP
VRAM (Total): 8 MB
