I ran Obsidian with the --disable-gpu for the first time yesterday.
I didn’t actively use it though (I was busy elsewhere), not enough to possibly trigger a KP (that’s what I’m going to test today) but from what I’ve seen, Obsidian was running way better than with the gpu enabled. Obsidian was fast and very reactive, a lot more than “usual” (even if Obsidian has always seem fast to me).
On Obsidian launch (either a normal launch from the dock or with the gpu disabled) I do get these messages from the system.log each time :

Would there be any messages from the Console I should pay attention to ? 
I don’t really get error or bug messages except a few with the Obsidian Helper (GPU) after launch because (I guess) it’s trying to access things it can’t (as I launched Obsidian with the gpu disbaled)
Edit : From the Terminal I also get those messages while running Obsidian with --disable-gpu similar to what @tim_hilde got :

I don’t really know what trigger them because these type of messages stop appearing at some point (and I doubt some font troubles would end up in a KP)
