System Information
Operating System: Windows 10 Home V.1809 OS build 17763.55 Graphics Card: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti, Driver Version: 25.21.14.1634, Driver Model: WDDM 2.5

Blender Version
Broken: (example: 2.79b Hash: f4dc9f9d68
Worked: (True)

Blender UI letters scrambled
IMPORTANT - The file is in Blender Game Mode, I use the Dvorak keyboard occasionally and the window's hotkey to swap between your keyboards is ctrl+shift. In Blender, there are hotkeys that use this in combination with other keys.
Example:

I try to input Ctrl+Shift+C to open the constraints menu but the C key doesn't register so it swaps between my keyboards.

I'm not sure why but the letters in the UI are little cubes/rectangles. This affected every body of text except UI Dropdown list titles like,

Transform

or other titles in the User Preferences tab.

The bug does not persist if you close and reopen the saved file
Because of this, I attached the previous save file version to allow attempts to replicate steps

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error

List Item

Open the .blend file,
Parent two cameras together,
Select parent camera,
Record a location hotkey (i-hotkey > location,
Increment down the timeline a few frames,
Change the camera's location,
Record location hotkey,
Undo until the recorded hotkeys have been undone,
Add an armature bone, select the parent (not child) camera and set automatic weights,
Insert location hotkeys for the armature (in pose mode).

These are the steps I took. If these don't reproduce it try turning enabling Dvorak keyboard in Window's Keyboard settings and occasionally swap between keyboards.

Pretty much a shot in the dark, but have you:

tried different Window Draw Methods in User Preferences > System?
tried upgrading your GPU driver (using official GPU drivers, not those provided by windows or tablet/laptop maker)

You could also try to run Blender through Software OpenGL, this will be much slower however, if everything works then it means that the bug is spefic for your GPU/Driver and you should report the bug to your GPU vendor instead. On MS-Windows: Download this dll and copying it so its located in the same directory as 'blender.exe' and run Blender normally.

Marking as incomplete until we have these tried...
