Not able to debug phonegap app running on windows 8 mobile

I have a phonegap application that has some layout problems. I can run the app in browser for the most part, and this usually get me over the line. But with a new design I need to debug the application layout on windows phone 8.
I'm currently looking at weinre but its not showing anything on the desktop when browsing the local server, I have added the link to my application I have cleaned up everything I can think of. Still blank. Any good tuts around the ones I have read just copy and paste the original docs or are not on my same error.
There's a public weinre server available here:
https://the-weinre.herokuapp.com/
You may have better luck with that than with your local server. There's a demo available on that page, give that a try and see if it works on your windows 8 mobile device.

Icon font is not displayed at Windows Phone devices

No Font (both icon-font or normal font) is displayed on Windows Phone devices. I searched the web and stackoverflow and there are some "solutions".
First to set the MIME type properly on an IIS server (I don't have an IIS server, just a shared webhosting server with Linux).
Second solution is to host the font on an external server (which I did... I host them on my server, and referenced to them via the URL-scheme, and I also tried Google webfonts).
None of the solutions worked.
There is a known problem with external fonts and Windows Phone, but is there no possible solution? I just want to display some icons (via the Elegant-Icon-Font) on my WebPage which should work on all browsers.
EDIT: I'm talking of Windows Phone 7, 7.5 and 7.8!
EDIT 2: One dirty way is to replace the font-icons with .png (or .svg) files containing the actual icon. Then check if the user rides an IE under 10 and switch to the .png/.svg when he does. Not a pretty solution but it works.

Open Safari on Mac Client from RDP or Citrix

I have a scenario where I have users accessing our company application either via Citrix or RDP.
The app needs to make a call from within the session to the client pc so it can open a browser for credit card entry.
This is all working okay as I'm using COM to make the call on Windows clients, however I'm not exactly sure how to approach this for Mac.
I believe a start might be able to use AppleScript to open the browser, but not sure on the best way to call the AppleScript. Should I create a C++ app written in xCode.
I'm new to any apple development, so any help or direction would be helpful.
If you have access to the shell on the remote Mac all you need to do to open Safari (or other default browser) is to execute open <URL>, for example:
open http://example.com

Simulate Apple Firefox in Windows

Is there any way, to simulate a Firefox, running on a Mac in Windows?
I have a problem with a website, it only appears in Firefox which is installed on an Apple PC.
In Firefox, installed under Windows it works fine.
Is there any way, to do this?
I would prefer freeware....
You can install OSX on Virtual Box or VMWare they both have support for OSX up to 10.7.x
Try an online browser testing service, which will allow you to preview a site by either a screenshot of your URL in a browser, or give you remote access to a VM of the OS and browser you need.
Some options;
BrowserCam
Adobe BrowserLab

launch an app from a URL on Windows Phone 7

I know that on the iPhone you can register a URL prefix such as myapp://blah which, when opened in safari, will open up your application.
Is there anything like this for Windows Phone 7?
Unfortunately not, applications can only be launched by the user from the application list or home screen. I suspect that the hooks are there in the operating system because the YouTube application is launched when attempting to view a video on the YouTube website from the browser and the user is prompted to install the app if they haven't already got it installed. But unfortunately, this approach isn't publicly available.
