gnome-shell crashed at some point and, upon reloading, all the text and almost all icons in the title bar, task bar, menus, and prompts are garbled.

I have a process that's been running for a week now; if it restarts, there's no way to recover the progress and I would have to start from scratch. So, I'm looking for a way to resolve this without killing the processes I currently have running.

Thank you in advance!

Take a look at this answer: gnome icons messed up on top bar - show white blocks

In my case it started to happen (occasionally) after I replaced the monitor. Decreasing the font scale in Gnome Tweaks has fixed it:
