That sounds like what will happen to the unthemed/Qt dialogs (and setup 
pages) when you use bad values for '"Small" font', '"Medium" font', and 
'"Big" font' settings in Appearance settings.  Defaults are 25, 16, and 
12, respectively.

I'm pretty sure that in 0.22-fixes you won't get any errors if you don't 
have a font installed on your system.  And 0.23-fixes will automatically 
load fonts provided by themes, but 0.22-fixes won't.
