After upgrading to 20.04 LTS, the characters in the terminal, Nautilus, and Settings menu are all being displayed as boxes, as shown in the screenshot. There is no issue with the browser, or the Activities or Applications menu, but any text inside an application, say, Calculator has the text replaced by the characters. I have tried

find /usr/share/fonts -type f -exec sudo chmod 644 {} \;
find ~/.fonts -type f -exec sudo chmod 644 {} \;
fc-cache -fr 

as well as

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade

but these haven't worked.

Not sure if this will work for the Calculator app, but I found that for my terminal I simply had to go to Preferences and choose a new font. As soon as I selected a new font all the rest of them showed up correctly. This after trying all kinds of updates to font families, replacing the .bashrc file, changing font file permissions, etc...
