Text be gone

SUMMARY
Selecting a bitmap font, such as Terminus, for the UI makes almost all text disappear. This is probably a recent change, because I update my system almost weekly.

I've attached a screenshot showing the issue.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open System Settings
2. Go to Fonts
3. Select a bitmap font for the UI
4. Text is gone
5. Think about text
6. Regret

OBSERVED RESULT
Text is invisible

EXPECTED RESULT
Text should be visible
