Jumbled text in Unity UI

I'm having t$$anonymous$$s problem where my Unity UI text will become jumbled on scene initialization.

T$$anonymous$$s is an intermittent problem that comes and goes, though it seems that all text that is in the scene through the first initial moments of the scene (Application.LoadLevel("scene") -> MonoBehaviour.Start()) have the possibility of t$$anonymous$$s happening to them.

What I mean by that is it doesn't matter if I set up the text through editor or if I instantiate the text through code, at any point in time during the initial scene moments my text objects might get jumbled.

I am able to fix the text if I either turn the text gameobject off and on again, or if I just reset the text display string (as long as its after the frame in w$$anonymous$$ch MonoBehaviour.Start() has been called). Though that fix sucks and it isn't 100%.

The font I am using is a .otf

The application I am making is for mobile and usually when the problem occurs it is on device, although it has happened in the editor a couple times before.

Any thoughts or guesses are quite welcome, thanks for your time!
