I continued to investigate and found that the problem is even deeper. If I use
a VESA driver and go into System Settings -> Desktop Behavior -> Desktop
Effects, then there is no text in the list of effects. And I think that there
are many such components in plasma5 desktop.

I found a solution here
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/43369016/can-i-globally-switch-to-native-text-rendering-in-qt-quick-controls-2

And I compiled x11-toolkits/qt5-declarative with
DEFINES+=QT_QUICK_DEFAULT_TEXT_RENDER_TYPE=NativeTextRendering and the text has
become visible in System Settings -> Desktop Behavior -> Desktop Effects. But
in some other places (such as clock or password field on Breeze Lockscreen) the
text did not appear.

I think that in some places of source code plasma5 components the rendering
type is hard coded as Text.QtRendering. And this can not be changed to
Text.NativeRendering.

This is a big problem!
