Now I'm really confused.  I was so sure that was going to fix it.
I ran

    $ apt list --installed | grep fonts-dejavu

on both systems.

On the system showing arrows:

    fonts-dejavu-core/focal,focal,now 2.37-1 all [installed]
    fonts-dejavu-extra/focal,focal,now 2.37-1 all [installed,automatic]
    fonts-dejavu/focal,focal,now 2.37-1 all [installed,automatic]

On the system showing rectangles:

    fonts-dejavu-core/jammy,jammy,now 2.37-2build1 all [installed,automatic]

I installed the fonts-dejavu and fonts-dejavue-extra packages on the
latter so that it now has:

    fonts-dejavu-core/jammy,jammy,now 2.37-2build1 all [installed,automatic]
    fonts-dejavu-extra/jammy,jammy,now 2.37-2build1 all [installed]
    fonts-dejavu/jammy,jammy,now 2.37-2build1 all [installed]

The arrows still show as rectangles, even after rebooting.  The font
packages _are_ different versions, but the one I just installed is
the same version you have.

I wonder if there is anything else one needs to do to install
a font.

Thanks for your help and your patience.

Gary
