Mixed results, see comments in the respective LP page.

The black background does not appear, and you can see through to the windows behind it.

This is news to me, have not experienced the problem on OSX.

Sounds like fun :-( 
Do you remember which font you used at the end ?

Don`t we have the same problem (missing sources) with the Collusion  skins? 
According to the release plan these skins are included in the 1.8 release, but some buttons (Looping / Hotcues) are missing until.
