Your description is lacking information. What packages got upgraded? Same result for all fonts? Did you use makepkg or an aur helper to build them? This is the wrong section to discuss aur packages btw.

well, all jetbrains ide are java-based. you only need to extract the installation files, and directly running them on jvm. no aur or makepkg involved.
last update i did was massive, around a hundred iirc, so its hard to track one by one.

and then i changed my system font from noto to roboto, and the font's back to normal again.
idk why, but it seems last update messed my system fonts.
so it's solved now, will close this thread.
