as far as I understand the qt port ready works fine under retina (checked on 
my machine) the real issue is that we have to provide bitmapped fonts at double 
screen resolution and I was not able to understand how to do this. the same 
should be done for icons. retina display is just a standard display where 
resolution is more or less 144 dpi instead of 72 so if Jpris help me in 
obtaining that texmacs produce screen fonts at that resolution it should be 
possible to convince qt to put them onscreen in the right way. 

I currently cannot use my retina laptop since texmacs does not work properly so 
I'm very much interested in improving it in that direction.
