1.11 Cannot set color on labels using the new default `lsans-15.fnt` font

See original GitHub issue

Please ensure you have given all the following requested information in your report.

Issue details

After upgrading to 1.11, our previous white colored arial-15.fnt is now a dark brown/black and regardless of the label style, it will always stay that color.

        label.setAlignment(Align.bottom);
        stage.addActor(label);

I would try tracking down where in your original game you could be calling dispose() before or during the screen you showed; maybe something changed in the disposal logic for some class, but there’s no way we can tell what it could be without looking at your code.

EDIT: I found https://github.com/libgdx/libgdx/pull/6536 , which doesn’t seem to be likely to be the culprit, but it is a change to how AssetManager handles disposal in 1.11.0.

Yeah, the Texture used by the BitmapFont could easily be disposed, which would cause this.
