I am also experiencing this issue where text is missing. It also persists through the game, though it only appears to be in certain text fields. For instance, where it says if an item is stolen or not, or where it lists an items damage/armor value. It seems that it is partially random when it works and doesn't. For instance, I look at a sign on a wall and it's blank, but if I inspect it again, it now shows the text. Similarly with the armor/damage values of items or if they can be stolen or not. This is mostly annoying, but is frustrating when going through a door and the text it was going to display is not there.
I am using OTVDM and it does this with both the version from spiderweb and from bladesofexile.com.
