So isn't that normal software evolution? With every OS X upgrade most
software vendors have to tweak their product to make it compatible
with the latest and greatest. I usually wait until OS x.2 before
scanning the websites of my most needed software to confirm they are
compatible before I'll consider upgrading my OS.

I think some software developers bank on this 'need to update' to
maintain a revenue stream.

Granted, having fonts display abnormally isn't something I've ever
heard of before.
