Created attachment 1311952 [details] Debug log from running Calibre in Debug mode Something is going on with the font detection?
FWIW, I downloaded Calibre from the source website, and ran its installation to install Calibre 3.6.0 (latest current version, as of this post). Installed it, worked fine, and properly displayed the fonts.
Do you have the liberation-sans-fonts package installed? 'rpm -q liberation-sans-fonts' should tell you. If not, does installing it resolve the problem?
I do have it installed: liberation-sans-fonts-1.07.4-8.fc26.noarch
