Text and numbers in UI show as tofu characters

inkscape-numbers-not-rendering

Steps to reproduce:

  • open Inkscape
  • Look at the coordinates boxes in the top bar, or most of the text in the bottom bar

What happened?

Numbers and some text are replaced with blank square characters, as if the font is missing.

What should have happened?

The numbers should be visible in a readable font. They are correct in some places, like in the Preferences window.
