Pango doesn't support bitmap fonts anymore
Applications that use Pango and that are configured to use bitmap fonts now only show rectangles instead of characters. This affects popular terminal emulator setups, because many people use fonts like Terminus in applications like GNOME Terminal. We recommend to switch fonts or downgrade pango.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/pango/issues/386
Asian/CJK characters display as blocks
Install noto-fonts-cjk or another font of your choice. The problem seems related to a ttf-droid update.

libbloom>=1.6-2 update requires manual intervention
(Taken from Arch Linux website, 2019-07-11 by Felix Yan. Source: https://www.archlinux.org/news/libbloom ... ervention/)
The libbloom package prior to version 1.6-2 was missing a soname link. This has been fixed in 1.6-2, so the upgrade will need to overwrite the untracked soname link created by ldconfig. If you get an error
libbloom: /usr/lib/libbloom.so.1 exists in filesystem
when updating, use
pacman -Suy --overwrite /usr/lib/libbloom.so.1
to perform the upgrade.
