Which versions?

Font too small is usually because of an unpatched xorg dummy driver, for

What are those specifically?
Make sure "control-command" are or aren't swapped, depending on your
expectations (see apple menu entry toggle or command line option).
If that doesn't help, try xev in an xpra session to verify we are
sending the right key events.

That is not needed on the OSX client, which does not use X11.
It should never be empty on the server.
