RetroArch save game & other PSP menu text is not rendered, black boxes are rendered instead of letters

[Ejurety]

Game or games this happens in

All tested

What area of the game

anytime a menu is loaded that would be from the PSP OS menu/interface, e.g. save menus or popup system messages

tested on RetroArch on Linux, and RetroArch on Android. Same result with any game tested

WHAT I HAVE TRIED:

• installing the assets folder from RetroArch online updater
• installing the assets folder from the master branch on Github
• installing the assets folder from v1.16.6 on Github
• tried changing a load of core settings
• tried Vulkan (crashes on Android, makes no difference on Linux)

none of this made any difference

Checklist

• Test in the latest git build in case it's already fixed.
• Search for other reports of the same issue.
• Try resetting settings or older versions and include if the issue is related.
• Try changing graphics settings to determine if one causes the glitch (especially speed hacks or enhancements/replacements.)
• Include logs or screenshots of issue.

Bisected, it started to happen pretty recently, with commit 5373b8c

No issue with the previous commit (fb8ad0c)

edit: And yeah, on standalone it's missing the Cross and Circle icons + the little grey square in the top left

Small oversight in the recently added texture size safety check, fixed.
