Missing font in Linux causes IDE menus to all dissapear

I've been experiencing the same issue as [here](https://www.reddit.com/r/arduino/comments/3u1pxn/missing_arduino_ide_menus_xpost_rarchlinux/)

After some testing and asking around, the issue was fixed by installing microsoft's propietary font packages. I'm not sure exaclty which font package fixed the issue at this point. I did have several Monospaced fonts already installed, so I don't think that's the issue font.

No errors were shown in the console, regardless of the -debug flag.

I actually don't have enough information or knowledge of the IDE to debug it or I'd provide more exact information, I just figure someone should know.

Reproduce the missing-menu behavior on Linux, starting with the IDE and its -debug output while testing the reported Microsoft font packages. Identify which package prevents the menus from disappearing; done means the triggering font dependency and a reliable fix are documented.
