I build Lazarus about every other week from trunk and use it on my Mac.
I have no idea on how to solve the issue but when you want me to test
something on trunk let me know....
A Hackintosh could be an alternative for you, haven't used one for a
looooonnnnnggggggg time but installation was quite straightforward.

Hello,
there is an open issue in Mantis:
http://mantis.freepascal.org/view.php?id=31037
Mac OSX widgetsets (Carbon, Cocoa) used 72 DPI as default. This
brought problems with the new LCL-scaling that depends on default 96
DPI. Therefore I decided to change the default DPI on these widgetsets
to 96. This unfortunately made the fonts bigger.
The only solution I can think of is to create a relative DPI scaling
to the default widgetset value - every DPI/PPI value will be compared
to the WS DefaultPPI. So instead of DPI/PPI we'll have "ScaleFactor".
E.g. it means that the property DesignTimePPI will be deleted and
changed to DesignTimeScaleFactor. Also PixelsPerInch will have the
ScaleFactor equivalent (I'll keep PixelsPerInch). Probably more
changes will be needed.
On Windows: DesignTimePPI=96 -> DesignTimeScaleFactor=100 <- On Mac:
DesignTimePPI=72. The same goes for PixelsPerInch/ScaleFactor.

Or do you have another idea how to make it work? Is it possible to
change the DPI settings to 96 without font scaling problem (so that
ScaleFactor is not needed)? Does anybody of you run a Mac? It looks
that the count of Mac users running Lazarus trunk is very limited - we
usually get feedback from them when a stable version is released :(
Testing on Mac is very hard for me because I don't have one. I have
only a VM which is a pain to use.
