Unreadable characters in ggplot graphs - running R in Jupyter on Linux

Question

I have been running R in Jupyter for some time, but from one day (and possibly kernel update) to another things have changed for the ggplot fonts, where both the legend and axis labels are garbled... For example, doing a histogram gives me the following graph:

code:

ggplot(NVemo, aes(x = CognitiveLoad)) +
    geom_histogram(fill = "lightblue", color = "white") +
theme_classic()

Specs for my system:

Linux mint kernel 5.4.0-64-generic

and R version code produces:

arch           x86_64
