20.04 LTS, I was using GIMP and some how my default font got corrupted?

example screen shot of my font problem

I was doing some graphic design using GIMP (posters, so large file sizes) and it froze my machine and I had to force reboot. For some reason, this font is set as my default font on any Chrome page that doesn't have it's own stylesheet, in my MS Teams preview, etc etc... I've tried fixing it with GNOME Tweaks 3.34.0, I've rebuilt my font cache, etc etc... This has fixed it in MOST places, but not all (specifically, Teams, Mailspring emails, specifically if it's HTML and using sans-serif see the fonts in the dropdown , and LibreCalc if it's trying to display Arial Any ideas on how to fix this?

Do you have the Microsoft core fonts installed?

If not:

sudo apt install ttf-mscorefonts-installer

Then, refresh the cache:

sudo fc-cache -vr
