    you were not able to install gnome-tweak-tool because there is already an apt-get running ... perhaps your system-upgrade, or the unattended-upgrade running in the background --- anyways i don think gnome-tweak-tool will help you much with xfce – d1bro Jun 18 '20 at 22:56

okay according to the images you are running xfce-desktop, and you might have used some (special) fonts that got deleted after the upgrade, or in some other way the settings got messed up.

a quick and dirty solution would be to delete them and then let xfcond reset them to the standard - all commands executed in the terminal:

  1. let's stop xconfd: pkill xfconfd
  2. delete the settings rm -rf ~/.config/xfce4/
  3. restart xfconfd: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/xfce4/xfconf/xfconfd

after that the issue should be solved ;)
