All system text in Obsidian app as [?] icon

Steps to reproduce

I toggled the auto suggest task content option in Tasks community plugin, and then
I quit Obsidian app on my work laptop; on reopening all system text appears as question mark icons, as in the screenshots below
When accessing settings, everything appears as question marks as well

Did you follow the troubleshooting guide? [Y/N]

Y

I opened Sandbox Vault and on its own it appears fine. I was not able to do the above in Sandbox, as the task plugin requires and Obsidian restart for all changes, and Sandbox vault will not save any changes of installed plugins, so I could not reproduce it there
For my vault, I disabled community plugins and css snippets; updated plugins and themes, reverted to the default theme, followed all the steps in the troubleshooting page

Expected result

Expected to have normal text in the system text

Actual result

Still have [?] icons in all of the app’s system text. My notes are fine on their own

Additional information

I did the same process before on my personal laptop where I have the vault synced to my work laptop. Toggling the task auto suggest off there, then restarting did not cause any issue. Further from troubleshooting, I’ve uninstalled and installed Obsidian on my work laptop and the problem persists, I was only able to perform troubleshooting guided by the working version on my personal laptop

Are you using a custom font?

Steps to reproduce

Installed Obsidian package from website, opened up the app and it is fill with ? symbols when it should be the default font


Did you follow the troubleshooting guide? [Y]

Expected result

Be able to read text in the app

Actual result

Cannot read any text

Environment

MacOs 13.4.1 on 2021 Macbook Pro 14"

Can’t do it since there is not text to help me select


Additional information

I don’t know, never seen something like this. Looks like you have a font problem in your system?!?

Are you using a theme or a custom font in this vault?

I did a brand new install to use Obsidian for the first time

Does this help

Okay - this worked! Thank you so much!
