Title: totally unreadable weird symbols instead of text in update-manager / update-notifier / ubuntu-release-upgrader Status in Light Display Manager: New Status in “ubuntu-release-upgrader” package in Ubuntu: New Status in “update-manager” package in Ubuntu: New Status in “update-notifier” package in Ubuntu: New Status in “xorg-server” package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Every so often the update-manager, update-notifier or ubuntu-release- upgrader normally pops up a window mentioning the latest new Ubuntu release. However, after installing lots of Ubuntu fonts and some graphite fonts, the upgrade notification popup window has stopped showing any text and started showing only weird symbols like boxes and dots, making it totally unreadable. All of the installed fonts installed without errors and all of them seem to be shown correctly in gucharmap. Other applications like gnome-terminal, gedit, konqueror etc are still working ok without displaying these weird symbols. Why are the Ubuntu release upgrade notifications suddenly being displayed in a weird font? This is update-manager 1:0.156.14.11 and update-notifier 0.119ubuntu8.6 in Ubuntu 12.04.02 precise. See the sequence attached of 12 screenshots of the weird symbols in ubuntu-release-upgrader, showing an attempt to copy-select the lines of symbols in the popup window.
