I have this strange problem in Ubuntu LTS 18.04

I opened Ubuntu System Monitor and it looks like in the picture.

I didn't do anything special ... just installing updates. I don't know which updates was...or the day that happened?

I wanted to see the using space in system monitor...and I realized that it's mess.

The same issue seems to have the calculator.

Any ideas what could cause this ?

The system is working fine...and didn't see this problem in other apps.

  1. I recently resolved this problem by simply deleting all files from home/.cache/fontconfig directory.

  2. If you used snap, uninstall it via sudo snap remove gnome-calculator, and reinstall it via sudo apt install gnome-calculator. It should help you with this issue.
