Good to know. I may have een the first to bring this up, many months ago, and I do use light text on dark, but I've managed to scrape by by simply having two slightly different versions of the base font (one in which I edited the name of Roman to Regular or somesuch) which I swap as VeraMono.ttf and VeraMono.ttf2. It doesn't matter which is which, I just periodically (about once/reboot, though not quite always, I believe) swap them when I notice the problem [...]
For me, if I do something with the font (e.g. gzip + gunzip) then it does fix the problem, but all glyphs which hadn't been loaded from the font at that time, will then show as blank for the rest of the session (i.e. until reboot).
