I remember a similar bug several years ago.

In recently installed Testing (Forky) with Cinnamon, using Evince the
window titles, the menus and the PDF sidebar don't display the
characters correctly, but only a series of squares.From the console:

===========================================================================

samiel@debian:~$ evince

(org.gnome.Evince:11038): Pango-WARNING **: 01:30:22.296: failed to
create cairo scaled font, expect ugly output. the offending font is
'Noto Sans 9'

(org.gnome.Evince:11038): Pango-WARNING **: 01:30:22.296: font_face
status is: <unknown error status>
===========================================================================

I'm not sure if this is a bug in the program...
