Why are my letters missing?

This is a screenshot that I took of my desktop:

You'll notice that multiple places have missing letters, and even in the terminal you've got a bizarre substitution of n->s

I see the same issue with multiple users and different window managers (i.e. i3, xfce)

Re: Why are my letters missing?

Please see the forum regulations for image sizes.  Also, it is a good idea to direct people to what they should see in an image.  That was a huge image, and as far as I can tell (after looking around it for a while) only the smallest part of it in the taskbar actually exemplifies what you are referring to.  Is this correct? (edit: I now see your note about the terminal n -> s too).
