Installed Kernel 5.8 as suggested by tony37 and it seems to have fixed the font issue. Still have a few other things to solve (high battery drainage is one).

Aha. But do know that this specific kernel is still bleeding edge, so no Nvidia and VirtualBox drivers at the moment (see here). I felt a bit awkward recommending this to you (which is why I mentioned 5.7 too) but now at least we know one way to solve the font issue.

Yes I could choose to use 5.7 but the list of improvement in 5.8 for AMD made me try it. Not that the battery draining has been caused by it. It was doing some after initial installation (KDE version that has AHS, so Kernel 5.6)

Virtual Box 6.1.14 in the test repo will handle 5.8 kernels now, and I just uploaded nvidia-driver 450.66 for either the test or AHS repo, or both, which also builds on 5.8. I'm going to do some other Nvidia drivers next for older hardware not compatible with 450.66.
