I installed PyCharm and I got these windows with no text:

Invisible text

Logs show no apparent error. I've installed ttf fonts package from AUR.

What could be the reason?

I tried to downgrade dependencies and it worked. I downgraded Java and giflib and it works just like before.

cd /var/cache/pacman/pkg/

sudo pacman -U jre7-openjdk-7.u55_2.4.7-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz
sudo pacman -U jdk7-openjdk-7.u55_2.4.7-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz
sudo pacman -U giflib-5.0.6-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz

If you don't have packages in your cache try to search online how to get them. I think it shouldn't be a big problem. Maybe yaourt have a package for that. Also keep in mind that Pycharm requires at least giflib 5.0.5 and java-runtime 6.

I also encountered this problem, another solution asides from downgrading is installing the official Oracle JDK with

yaourt -S jdk

that fixed the problem for me

You can also force the anti alias of awt to be always on following the arch wiki, for me it worked
