After installation of Ubuntu 20.04 my terminal characters shifted to some kind of squares with hex codes in them. I am not able to find out how to get back to normal. Any suggestions?

I managed to solve it by going into Preferences > Compatibility and selected Ambiguous-width characters: Wide. It seems it was set to Narrow.

Prior to the upgrade, I'd selected a custom font in Preferences > [Profile] > Text, and ticked the Custom Font checkbox.

I suspect the upgrade retains the state of the checkbox but doesn't retain the font selected.

Simply selecting a custom font or unchecking the Custom Font checkbox worked for me.

Go to Settings > Profile > Text > Customize to choose the font you want.
