mono iPhoneBackupExtractor.exe - macos

Question

I'm trying to run the iphonebackupextracter software on a MAC OSX 10.8.4. I downloaded the latest version from you web site. and when i run mono iPhoneBackupExtractor.exe I get an error. I tried searching for a solution on mono's support site with no luck. Below is the full error message.
Appreciate your help.
An unhandled error occurred creating the main form. If running under OS X, this is likely due to a problem with your X11 installation. Please contact support#iphonebackupextractor.com for help.
The error was as follows:

Logs show that there seems to be an issue with creation of UI window panel as the system font the application is trying to look up for could be found on your mac.
There could be 2 main reasons why this could happen:-
The latest version of mountain lion (as you point it out to be 10.8.4) does not have that font in their font library
The application was created only for windows and developer didn't port it to /tested on mac thoroughly.
if you need to extract your iphone data in urgency then its better to try using a different application which has made for mac and does not require mono
UPDATE
Have a look at Total Saver application. It works on mac and windows without the need for you to install any 3rd party frameworks (mono). You'll need JRE (Java Runtime Environment) though.
You can download if for free by simply googling the app name or click on the softpedia link below:-
