Opening the widget side docked with `bypass_load_screen=False` creates a floating ascii art window. #170

When setting bypass_load_screen=False (i.e. normal expected use of the plugin for students) I get a strangely midsized plugin and a floating ascii art Window.

The blank plugin is fine (although perhaps all buttons disabled would be nicer) but the floating ascii art is not good. It's small and misaligned.

I also get the following warning about a font that I don't have installed:

WARNING: Populating font family aliases took 159 ms. Replace uses of missing font family "Lucida Console" with one that exists to avoid this cost.
13:04:52 : WARNING : MainThread : Populating font family aliases took 159 ms. Replace uses of missing font family "Lucida Console" with one that exists to avoid this cost.

For portability I don't think we should hard-code fonts needed by our plugin.
