sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ artful-updates main"
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install libfreetype6=2.8-0.2ubuntu2.1
sudo apt-mark hold libfreetype6

Type this in the terminal, This helped me, and I had the same problem.

The problem comes from a bug in freetype 2.8.1. The solution I have found is to build the lib from source.

Get it from https://download.savannah.gnu.org/releases/freetype/freetype-2.9.1.tar.gz

Then:

tar xvfz freetype-2.9.1.tar.gz
cd freetype-2.9.1
sudo apt build-dep libfreetype6
./configure
make
sudo make install
sudo ldconfig

Then reboot. Problem should be gone.
