Android Studio sun.font.CompositeFont cannot be cast to sun.font.PhysicalFont

I keep getting this error when I try to run Android Studio 2.2.3 on two different Ubuntu computers. One runs on 04/14 Trusty, and the other on 04/16 Xenial.

It launches the splash screen, the download panel reaches the end, and then it sits there, and this error is displayed on the console.

Firstly, thanks to those who commented on the question, your input solved my problem. I just wanted to add the correct answer.

As shown in several track links in the question comments, the problem seems to be related to the Helvetica font file from the Mac. Link:

The problem is a bad font: /usr/share/fonts/TTF/Helvetica.ttf

It was copied from an OS X computer and attached.

Removing the font resolved the issue.

It is claimed to be fixed, and IDEA works for me. You just have to wait for Google to include the changes in the version of Android Studio that I suspect.
