My solution to a problem with squares with numbers instead of fonts.
Now I have changed the font in the system, an undesirable square with numbers was displayed instead of letters. I found a solution to my problem. I identified which font GIMP used for its default display. With the app "What The Font" I found. font like GIMP. The font was disabled in the font book. When the computer restarted, the app used a readable font. I used GIMP 2.10 on an iMac 12.6.
