Luke uses a standard "dialog" font by default, and apparently this font in your 
environment is set to something unreadable...

As a workaround: Luke saves some preferences in a file $HOME/.luke, among 
others there's a property there for font name and font size. Try editing this 
file and changing this property to some other name and/or size.
