This has also been reported on the mailing list. FWIW some suggestions about
fonts below:

That could account for the difference - the bug reported involved
someone already using Denemo (by the sound of it), so the fonts may be
there somewhere. I've just read that fonts on MacOS Sierra are stored
below

/System/Library/Fonts

So it might be good to have a look in there for the Denemo fonts
(denemo.ttf, feta.ttf, emmentaler.ttf) and install them if they are not
present.

Thanks for testing this. Hopefully Jeremiah (who builds that binary) may
have a clue as to what is going on.
