** Description changed:
- 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?
