Okay, reverted back until I found where the rectangle fonts start happening.
This is the revision that introduces the rectangle fonts:
http://anonsvn.wireshark.org/viewvc?limit_changes=0&view=rev&revision=32449

The revision before that:
http://anonsvn.wireshark.org/viewvc?limit_changes=0&view=rev&revision=32448

...rev32448 works fine before I compiled rev32449, and then worked again when I
checked out that rev a second time.

So, to fix this problem in file:
packaging/macosx/Resources/bin/wireshark

Line 73 needs to be: 
sed 's|${HOME}|'"$HOME|g" "$TOP/etc/pango/pangorc" >
${HOME}/.wireshark-etc/pangorc

Line 73 CANNOT be:
sed 's|\\${HOME}|'"\"$HOME\"|g" "$TOP/etc/pango/pangorc" >
"${HOME}/.wireshark-etc/pangorc"

...or you get rectangles.

The rest of the changes in rev32448 are ok. I just checked out the current rev,
and am recompiling now to verify that is the only change needed still.

You can edit this file directly in the install directory, so folks can
temporarily fix this until it is determined what the proper fix. Need to be
careful to not regress Bug2844 which was to fix a problem with Spaces in the
path. I personally have never had that problem, but seems someone had.
