This sounds like a bug somewhere in the initialization of the Font, to
investigate I'll need to reproduce the problem on my system.

Does the multi-theaded test code path in osgtext fail for you as well:

       osgtext --mt

I have just tried this on my Kubunutu 18.04 system with the 3.6 branch and
it works fine.

Could you create a small test program that illustrates what you are doing?

Cheers,
Robert.
