This is not an octave specific bug. It is most probably related to a 
change in mac os API and the way fltk sets fonts. There seams to be many 
applications that have the same issue (just google "CoreText performance 
note: Client called CTFontCreateWithName()").
I saw that Qt were preparing a fix, maybe fltk will do so.
