Title:
  ubuntu-release-upgrader has totally unreadable weird symbols instead
  of text

Status in “ubuntu-release-upgrader” package in Ubuntu:
  New
Status in “update-notifier” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Every so often the update-notifier normally pops up a window
  mentioning the latest new Ubuntu release. However, after installing
  lots of Ubuntu fonts and some graphite fonts, the update notifier
  popup window has stopped showing any text and started showing only
  weird symbols like boxes and dots, making it totally unreadable. Other
  applications like gnome-terminal, gedit, konqueror etc are still
  working ok without displaying these weird symbols. Why is update-
  notifier not working normally?

  This is update-notifier 0.119ubuntu8.6 in Ubuntu 12.04.02 precise.

  See the sequence attached of 12 screenshots of the weird symbols in
  update-notifier, showing an attempt to copy-select the lines of
  symbols in the popup window.
