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.
