Preferences are illegible boxes

[sonicsteve]

The program installs, launches and works. However nothing in the preferences window is legible. All text is shown as only boxes. See the screenshot it's much easier to show than to tell.

Can you please provide more details of the version of indicator-sensors you are running, as well as on what Linux distribution / release, the desktop environment and fonts etc?

Hi Alex,
I installed it from the Ubuntu snap store.
Ubuntu 20.04 (fully updated)
Hardware sensors version 1.1, updated July 1, 2020. I can confirm though
that it's been doing this since April on this machine.

I have 2 laptops,
T420 hardware sensors works as expected
T440s has the strange boxes

The environments are typical Ubuntu tweaked gnome for 20.04
I installed Gnome tweaks and the fonts, icons, and appearances are setup

UPDATE as of experimenting while typing this email.
Last week I tried installing the beta, and edge versions from the ubuntu
store. Both gave the same results with boxes.
I removed Hardware sensors. Then installed the stable 1.1 version still had
boxes.
I removed it again using the ubuntu store gui. I also noticed that the
stable version now says July 1, 2020
I installed this time from the Command line. sudo apt install
indicator-sensors
Now it works
In the Ubuntu store it now says version 1.1-1, Updated never,
Ubuntu-focal-universe
Is this a different version than the snap store?

Yes the snap version will get more frequent updates - I am wondering in this case if there is some issue with the snap connection to the font / theme interfaces? If you install the snap version again, and still experience this issue, could you please post the output of:

snap connections indicator-sensors
