The issue occurs due to the HTML rendered dll that is included in Workbench. Full details of the bug are here.

For a quick fix, thanks to Michael Gaillez and Frank Quintero, the offending code is in this repo: https://github.com/ArthurHub/HTML-Renderer

To fix it yourself, replace this code:

static FontsUtils()
    {
        _fontsMapping["monospace"] = "Courier New";
        _fontsMapping["Helvetica"] = "Arial";

        foreach (var family in FontFamily.Families)
        {
            _existingFontFamilies.Add(family.Name, family);
        }
    }

With this code:

static FontsUtils()
    {
        _fontsMapping["monospace"] = "Courier New";
        _fontsMapping["Helvetica"] = "Arial";

        foreach (var family in FontFamily.Families)
        {
            if (!_existingFontFamilies.ContainsKey(family.Name))
            {
                _existingFontFamilies.Add(family.Name, family);
            }
        }
    }

You want to put this new DLL in your Workbench folder, which, for me, is C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Workbench 6.3 CE\
