Created attachment 1758636 [details] broken font lock screen clock Description of problem: I've got about 7 machines running fedora 33, to the same patch level. 4 of them were showing poorly rendered fonts/wrong characters in various parts of the gnome-shell ui. Primarily: lock screen time, unlock password entry field, and the top bar calendar view. See attached screenshots. For one of the machines it stopped doing it after a week or 2. The other machines kept doing it until I changed the `Interface Text` font using TweakTool, the default is Cantarell Regular, and any other font seems to be fine, including other Cantarell fonts. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): The problem started after update on 2/1 which included abattis-cantarell-fonts-0.301-1.fc33.noarch /var/log/dnf.rpm.log:2021-02-01T13:07:46-0600 SUBDEBUG Upgrade: abattis-cantarell-fonts-0.301-1.fc33.noarch /var/log/dnf.rpm.log:2021-02-01T13:10:00-0600 SUBDEBUG Upgraded: abattis-cantarell-fonts-0.201-4.fc33.noarch How reproducible: On the 3 remaining machines with the issue if I set the font back to Cantarell Regular the problem returns. But I haven't been able to make it happen on other machines that arent experiencing the issue. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Run Fedora 33 with Gnome, using defaults Actual results: You will either experience the problem or you won't. Expected results: Fonts to be rendered properly. Additional info:

Did this only happen after upgrading? or still persist even after rebooting? If everything looks fine after rebooting, that is a known issue and may appears when fonts is drastically changed.
It was after upgrading. I saw it multiple times myself after rebooting, even without updates. since changing the font away haven't run into this again, which is expected.
