I did, on Tursday last week. I'm pretty sure I'd have noticed the
problem before this morning, but I can't be 100% sure. Anyway I've tried
downgrading & upgrading fonts-cantarell along with restarting
gnome-shell and haven't mangaed to reproduce the problem. I think this
is just one of those things that happens when you update GNOME online...
