Linux users (Windows users too?) sometimes experience rendering issues in the mind map view and/or font rendering. The first thing is to check whether you are using openjdk-7, openjdk6 should no longer be used. That means you have to install openjdk-7-jdk (or similar) package and activate it (Debian/Ubuntu: update-java-alternatives). If that doesn't help, below are some hints that have helped a bunch of people.

The Arch Linux wiki has some important hints regarding java (swing) rendering.
