Yeah, that's why I asked lol. It has been a while since it was updated. It looks like forum posts / bug reports are being ignored, as well.
He's abandoned it for months at a time in the past only to start up again.

lol too ... what are 6 months for >12y old hardware - especially when shared by genius enthusiasts with a wide consuming community!
Yeah, relative to how old the platform is, 1/2 a year is a drop in the bucket. True.
I like the idea of using LepWK on my PowerPC Macs for doing some light web layout/CSS work, but was annoyed by the serif system font used in the Web Inspector... Digging a little deeper, this can be resolved by either installing Menlo font family from a later OS or editing `Main.css` from the WebInspectorUI.framework;
1. Quit WebKit
2. In Terminal.app:
3. In TextEdit:
Find: Menlo,monospace
Replace with: Monaco,monospace
(Or Courier, "Andale Mono" or whatever is preferred as your fixed-width font)
4. Save and close.
5. Relaunch WebKit and check the Inspector window (Cmd-Opt-I)
Whether this is useful for anyone else or just me, it doesn't hurt to document these things

That's a given. The guy who did the last update chimed in on the Snow Leopard on PPC thread. He's not touching it any more.
That's a shame. Maybe someone else can pick it up who has the knowledge\time for such a project.
