Darktable - characters are square

It appears to need a font that's missing, because all of the characters are little squares. I ran sudo fc-cache -vf, but this did not help. I wonder if anyone else has ran into this, and if so, what's the solution?

I am sorry, I do not have a solution for you, but as a Darktable fan myself...how did you install it, did you compile yourself?   Last time I tried the git package off AUR it failed even after editing the build script for aarch64.  At the time I did not investigate the failure further (I do not plan on serious RAW processing on the PBP anyway) and just put on RAWTherapee.

I know in 3 they changed the way fonts are handled...and it is now editable in the CSS theme stylesheet usr/share/darktable/themes/darktable.css  ...you might want to poke around in there after making a backup (this is by memory...so sorry if wrong).  there should be font family and font size settings.
