Public bug reported:
As shown in the attached screenshot, the fantasque sans mono font
displays hex codes in boxes rather than actual characters. In the photo,
I'm using gedit. The first line of text says "The quick brown fox jumps
over the lazy dog".
To produce this bug, I installed the font from the package repository
and tried to use the font on my system. In addition to gedit, the
problem occurs in Gnome Tweaks or anywhere else I try to look at the
font. I have a dual boot KDE and GNOME Kubuntu system, but I'm running
in GNOME only.
I tried uninstalling and reinstalling, but got the same issue. The issue
affects all the fonts in the package, but none of the other fonts on my
system.
