@Still : how do you actually get it to have no font at all?

Can confirm
If you remove all the fonts from their project, the node cannot even use the default

Philipp Oeser (lichtwerk). To answer your question "how do you actually get it to have no font at all?" A simple copy the nodes and paste the nodes to another blend file. It may also happen if the blend file is created on an OS like Linux and is opened on Windows / Mac that uses different Fonts or doesn't have access to the same fonts.
