B Bobo, this bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? If so, could you please test for this with the latest development release of Ubuntu? ISO images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com /daily-live/current/ .
If it remains an issue, could you please run the following command in the development release from a Terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal), as it will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report: apport-collect -p xorg-server REPLACE-WITH-BUG-NUMBER Please note, given that the information from the prior release is already available, doing this on a release prior to the development one would not be helpful. Thank you for your understanding.

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.
