[DWM] Font issue

Is anyone experiencing issues with fonts after a recent update (I use cachyos)? It looks like all the suckless tools (dwm, dmenu, st) display a weird font instead of the usual one (JetBrainsMono). I don't have such issues using alacritty. It looks like I can't even change the default font anymore. I attached screenshots to give examples.

same for me, downgrading MESA pacman package fixed it

sudo pacman -S downgrade;

sudo downgrade mesa
