Just the tab contents are empty, the application window still comes up. There's a screenshot at the bottom of http://code.google.com/p/meld-installer/issues/detail?id=32. Ignore the earlier comments and description; the reporting user re-used an older unrelated issue. The new issue for this problem is http://code.google.com/p/meld-installer/issues/detail?id=42. I'll post your suggestion about not using the system font and trying some other fonts there.
