I've had similar issues and then consulted the manual, where I saw the
following snippet:

It seems the issue is a stale fontconfig cache. Specifically, the
italic versions of Cantarell seem to cause this behaviour (as Cantarell
was updated along with everything else in Gnome 3.30). I fixed it on
my machine by running ‘fc-cache -rv’ both as user to fix local caches
and as super-user to fix system caches. Perhaps this also overlaps
with [1].
