Public bug reported:
Every so often the update-notifier normally pops up a window mentioning
the latest new Ubuntu release. However, after installing lots of Ubuntu
fonts and some graphite fonts, the update notifier popup window has
stopped showing any text and started showing only weird symbols like
boxes and dots, making it totally unreadable. Other applications like
gnome-terminal, gedit, konqueror etc are still working ok without
displaying these weird symbols. Why is update-notifier not working
normally?
This is update-notifier 0.119ubuntu8.6 in Ubuntu 12.04.02 precise.
See the sequence attached of 12 screenshots of the weird symbols in
update-notifier, showing an attempt to copy-select the lines of symbols
in the popup window.
