From the error message, it looks like the UI failed to launch due to a missing Font resource.

To work around the problem, I would recommend completing the installation with the "silent" option by providing the inputs in a file:

./platform-setup-64bit-linux.sh -q -varfile ~/response.varfile -dir ~/appdynamics/platform

Sample response file for silent installation: 

Linux

serverHostName=HOST_NAME
sys.languageId=en
disableEULA=true

platformAdmin.port=9191
platformAdmin.databasePort=3377
platformAdmin.databasePassword= ENTER_PASSWORD
platformAdmin.databaseRootPassword= ENTER_PASSWORD
platformAdmin.adminPassword= ENTER_PASSWORD
platformAdmin.platformDir=/opt/appdynamics/platform

 Regards,

Tried this workaround today with a customer and the slient install failed with the same exception. We successfully got past the error by following this solution:
