You might have a font cache/config problem.

• I don't remember installing these fonts from other sources (I usually keep the downloaded ZIP around)
  

Yea... each upgrade I got bunch of font (like 1Gb) that I did already removed, like all the font from languages that I don't even know they existed
I have a .sh for that (fix also the font cache)

Code:

#!/bin/bash
    # www.riksoft.it/wikiriks
    # Remove all oriental fonts in Mint 18 (surely OK for Ubuntu 16 as well)

      sudo apt purge -y $i
      echo
    done
    
    echo "==== Fixing font cache"
    sudo fc-cache -f -v && sudo dpkg-reconfigure fontconfig
    
    echo "==== Packages remained (each containing multiple fonts)"
    dpkg -l fonts\*|grep ^ii|awk '{print $2}'
    
    
    echo
    read -p "Press any key to close."

I also have this to clean deeper (but careful it might remove some you want to keep)

Code:

sudo apt-get remove fonts-kacst fonts-kacst-one fonts-khmeros-core fonts-lklug-sinhala fonts-guru fonts-nanum fonts-noto-cjk fonts-takao-pgothic fonts-tibetan-machine fonts-guru-extra fonts-lao fonts-sil-padauk fonts-sil-abyssinica fonts-tlwg-* fonts-lohit-* fonts-beng fonts-beng-extra fonts-gargi fonts-gubbi fonts-gujr fonts-gujr-extra fonts-kalapi fonts-lohit-gujr fonts-samyak-* fonts-navilu fonts-nakula fonts-orya-extra fonts-pagul fonts-sahadeva fonts-sarai fonts-smc fonts-telu-extra fonts-wqy-microhei

sudo apt purge fonts-kacst fonts-kacst-one \
fonts-khmeros-core fonts-lklug-sinhala \

fonts-noto-cjk fonts-takao-pgothic \
fonts-tibetan-machine fonts-guru-extra \
fonts-lao fonts-sil-padauk fonts-sil-abyssinica \
fonts-tlwg-* && sudo apt autoremove
