Ubuntu 18.04: missing letters in login screen
I'solved this on my machine by editing /etc/gdm3/custom.conf and uncommenting:
#WaylandEnable=false

I have fixed this issue. Settings -> Language and Region -> in upper right corner "Login Screen". And change Language to English(United Kingdom) and change Formats to United Kingdom. After this, reboot. Probably it help you.
I had a similar issue, solved by installing the NVidia graphics driver:
sudo ubuntu-drivers autoinstall
