Quickdraw seems to have been removed entirely in OS X 10.11, which causes DF to hang or crash on startup with print modes like 2D (the default). crowder reports that updating to SDL 1.2.15 fixes this.

Instructions: Download SDL 1.2.15+ from https://www.libsdl.org/download-1.2.php [^] [^] (direct link: https://www.libsdl.org/release/SDL-1.2.15.dmg [^] [^]), and replace <DF>/libs/SDL.framework with the downloaded version of SDL.framework.
