preload-textures StaticTextFont Panda1.8

Hi
After switching to panda 1.8 I have strange behaviour with ‘preload-textures 0’ and displaying StaticTextFont.

Only white rectangles are displayed in place of characters. All other textures are displayed ok.

With ‘preload-textures 1’ characters are displayed correctly.
In panda 1.7.2 everything is ok too.

Is it a bug or I should set something more to display fonts correctly?

br,
adx

This sounds like a bug. Please report on the launchpad; thanks!
