Well it is really unpleasant to be stuck with a font issue while trying to run RViz.

To be clear for others reading this, running rviz works fine, it's only when using the moveit plugin for rviz that you run into the issue now.

I would really appreciate a quick and dirty solution temporarily.

If you're willing to compile the moveit rviz plugin from source, I believe you could install `fonts-liberation` from `apt` and find-replace all instances of `Arial` with `Liberation Sans` in the moveit rviz plugin, as described here:
