What has happend to my TOR-Browser / cryptic letters shown

Since the last TOR-Browser bundle update, the TOR-Browser just displays cryptic letters only. Just look at the screenshot. What has happend? How to fix that?

TOR-Browser bundle on Fedora 33

Solution 1:

This seems to be the same problem as described in the bug report of Fonts don't render.

The solution there is:

• Open tor-browser_en-US/Browser/TorBrowser/Data/fontconfig/fonts.conf

• Modify line 37 and replace the line <dir>fonts</dir> with this:
  <dir prefix="relative">fonts</dir>.

If the above doesn't help, try to uninstall TOR-Browser, clean out all its folders, then clean-install the latest version.

If this also doesn't work, consider staying with the old version that worked, for the moment, and report the problem on the TOR-Browser forums.
