Yesterday I turned my PC on and all system fonts look like this:
Terminal looks normal.
Any way to fix this from command line? Or do I need to go nuclear and re-install Ubuntu?
I am using Ubuntu 18.04.

I assume your Ubuntu language is not English. And you have probably removed some fonts that are needed to display text in your native (Japanese?) language. You may try to change the Fonts usinggnome-tweaks

hi, my native language is Spanish. I can't really access any system conf like tweaks because all text looks like that. Is there any way to do it from cli? BTW, i haven't changed anything font related...

Did you try the commandgnome-tweaks
? I am not exactly sure whether it is the same in your version. (I am using 19.04)

I have seen this when someone tries rm'ing their entire disk. Typically happens when critical components / caches get deleted. Did you 'rm' anything critical recently? Maybe open a terminal and run 'history' to see what commands you did previously which may have triggered this.

I kind of fixed it but there are other thinks broken (like the theme). I might better re-install ubuntu. And no, I don't remember rm-ing anything, but once I was asked to do a fsck at boot, maybe that got things screwed ...
