From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Turning AA off for fonts solved the missing characters, downside it doesn't look very good. I still have glitchy artefacts in some menus and the package manager doesn't display any text for buttons which is a bit problematic. Guessing disabling some more AA settings would remove more of the problems. But it doesn't solve my main problem - why did AA break in the first place
