I'm having the same issue, using a release build of 3.0.0

The (modified) in there is because I removed some printf()'s in the depsgraph that were filling my terminal with useless messages, other than that I'm using the ordinary 3.0 release. The feature works in 2.93.

I did a git-bisect. The bug was caused by commit b9febb54a4 'Geometry Nodes: Support modifier on curve objects'.

It's worth pointing out that the Object Font's behaviour in 2.93 is to act just like other dupli-verts, that is, to display the instancer and the instances unless you disable "Show Instancer" in the object's view settings... that being said, it would be OK if it were enabled automatically for text objects, IMO.

I did some further investigation.

As a work around, enabling "Fast editing" seems to make it work.

Sharing it, in case it helps someone.
