[GNC] 3.3 unstable on macOS Mojave

[Adrien Monteleone]

Some of us have also discovered that GTK is very particular about the name you use for the font. Search the recent list archives, but I *think* you need to use the ‘family name’ found using FontBook.app.

Regards,
Adrien

But if there's going to be a 2.6.22, and if this is trivially reproducible on a fresh Mojave system (I don't _think_ there's anything unusual about my system, but who knows), it may be worth looking into.
