After software update text display only 4 letters

Question

After regular software updates,Text doesn't display properly for system elements. Examples are shown below image.

Is this a bug with 20.04 updates? How can I fix this?

After my "regular software updates," everything works properly, so it seems unlikely to be a bug. Check if the problem persists after a reboot. — user535733, Apr 03 '21 at 17:07

I think this is same problem as this answer to a similar problem.

I was able to fix it by removing the 3rd party AMD Radeon drivers I had previously installed (and had been working fine up until this morning when I did a SW package upgrade & rebooted). I ran the following commands and rebooted. Now my display is back to normal:

sudo apt install ppa-purge
sudo ppa-purge ppa:oibaf/graphics-drivers

I think I might have copy/pasted the wrong commands. I've updated my answer with the command I used to remove the 3rd party AMD Radeon drivers. – Peter Vinsel Apr 08 '21 at 19:55
This solution also worked for me. Thank you! – angrato Apr 12 '21 at 22:35
