<div class="Normal"><span style='font-size: 10pt; '>I just built rev 9137 on OS
X, and that went fine. I am trying to test
</span><br><span style='font-size: 10pt; '>the composer. Some things I can
report:</span></div>
<br>
<div class="Normal"><span style='font-size: 10pt; '>The 'Export as Image' button
does not seem to do anything for me.</span></div>
<br>
<div class="Normal"><span style='font-size: 10pt; '>Exporting to svg works, but
fonts scale much larger than they appear
</span><br><span style='font-size: 10pt; '>in the composer (this might be
something you never touched, not sure).</span></div>
<br>
<div class="Normal"><span style='font-size: 10pt; '>Printing the composer image
crashes qgis when I select 'Preview' in
</span><br><span style='font-size: 10pt; '>the OS X print dialog (this basically
sends the image to Preview.app, </span><br><span style='font-size: 10pt; '>OS
X's image viewing software, rather than to a physical device).
</span><br><span style='font-size: 10pt; '>Oddly, printing to a physical device
worked. Choosing Save as PDF </span><br><span style='font-size: 10pt; '>under
the PDF drop-down in the OS X print dialog also causes a crash.</span></div>
