Please try running in cmd.exe and let me know if you see any errors, for example
C:\Program Files (x86)\Meld>python\App\python.exe meld\bin\meld.
You're the second person to report this and I've not been able to reproduce it. 
 I'm gunna have to ask the Meld team if they've ever encountered this.

I have this issue, too.
I found that if I set environment variable LANG=en_US to start meld, then I can 
see the content.
My system uses Chinese, not English. This issue might be related to locale.

Thanks for that info imprazaguy.  I'm no GTK expert, but I'll ask about this on 
the Meld list and see what they suggest.  This should give them a starting 
point.

Kai suggested unchecking the 'use system font' option (under 'Edit' -> 
'Preferences' on the 'Editor' tab) and trying some other fonts.  If it does, 
that will confirm it's a fonts issue.  Let me know what you find.

I found out this problem was from locale difference
I have tested above cases.

2) unchecking the 'use system font' 
  it's not working properly.

3) changed locale to english, it's fine

after all, meld looked for the specific font and failed then fallback to the 
default 'sans 9', but it also went to fail from inner bugs.
maybe there is a bug for encoding unicode inner strings.

Sorry for the runaround.  Please paste this info into a new issue for Meld: 
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=meld.  They know details of GTK 
better than I.  I started investigating on my end because I thought maybe I had 
some configuration problem with the PyGTK that the installer bundles.  I'm 
thinking now that this isn't the case, but if it is, we'll reopen this issue 
and I'll correct.

I have the Meld 1.8.3 on Japanese Windows 7 and I can't see any fonts (the same 
problem.)

To survive, create a empty text, rename it to meld-run.bat, ant open it by 
Notepad and edit like;

----
set LANG=en_US
C:\somedirectorypath\meld\meld.exe
----

Then you can somehow see documents!
After that, you can add Encoding by (e.g. for Japanese,) 
  Preference -> Encoding -> Loading -> sjis utf8 latin1
and it works well (I can see Japanese letters).

Hopefully the the meld developers can fix this problem soon ...
