Public bug reported: GNOME does not show any text in the DE itself. Examples of text that is missing: The activities button on the top left, date and time, text of notifications, authentication dialogs, the telegram icon not displaying the number of unread messages, searches in the search bar. The text however is drawn in applications that are not an integral part of the shell itself, such as the settings application, terminals, Firefox, Rhythmbox, GNOME System montior.
The bug appeared seemingly out of nowhere, can be worked around though pretty easily by chainging the fonts of the user interface in the GNOME tweak tool. The problem reappears, if the user interface fonts are changed back to the fonts which were not appearing on the screen originally. Changing the font size does not fix the problem.
