Is that font and size used in the GUI in other controls? If not, find a font/size that is working in another control and change the code above to use it and see if that fixes it. It would be a workaround for now until you find the solution.
Or it would prove there is something else wrong with your code.

I haven't looked into GUIs yet, so don't know where they pick up their fonts from.

Now my Button is working.
i ve added

$Gui::fontCacheDirectory = expandFilename("dir/cache");
$Gui::clipboardFile = expandFilename("dir/cache/clipboard.gui");

in the main.cs file and got it working.
