This is a known issue. You need to restart your computer after upgrading fonts-cantarell. A Cantarell developer said this recently: "The reason is that afaik FreeType's or FontConfig's glyph cache gets messed up when you replace the actual font file while it is in use by an application. It can also cause crashes (see e.g. https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/issues/101 )." By the way, this is a major reason why GNOME Software only offers offline upgrades. It allows you to avoid issues like this. There's nothing really that we can fix here in fonts-cantarell but I think it doesn't hurt to keep this bug open so that others will see this bug easier.
