No, you get the boxes when Pango can't find its configuration files.
Because the Zenmap.app bundle can be run from anywhere, but GTK+ and
Pango require static locations in their configuration files, we write a
set of files to ~/.zenmap-etc on startup. Running the .bin directly
bypasses the creation of those files and the setting of environment
variables that cause them to be used, so Pango rendering doesn't work.

Try removing the .zenmap-etc directory (rm -r ~/.zenmap-etc) and let us
know if that works.
