Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better.

A quick look at your attached screenshot (thank you for including), makes me wonder if it's a font issue. Have you checked that? A support site may help.

Examples of support sites that maybe helpful include https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu, the support forum of your local Ubuntu community http://loco.ubuntu.com/ or asking at https://askubuntu.com or https://ubuntuforums.org, via IRC on freenode, or for more support options please look at https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/community-support/709

* This has been found that this error was caused by a MISSING FONT
* Someplace during the Ubuntu 19.10 to Ubuntu 20.04 upgrade process the font Courier New was completely removed.
* It is not clear what the use-case would be to removea font in the first place.
* Nothing in the removed packages list indicates that this font was removed.

It would be useful for the terminal to report an error on a missing font file.

unfortunately there is no installer for me to reinstall terminator for 20.04 :-(

Hoping tha tcomes along soon.
