When I try to do anythings that opens "Open Folder" window, I see only
squares instead of characters. https://i.imgur.com/YdXpIWW.png

This behavior began after I moved from fedora-31 to fedora-32-minimal
template. I already deleted the previous vm, so I couldn't even check if
there is something I need to have installed to make it work correctly.

Nautilus itself works fine, though.

I don't use qubes currently, but my 5 cents:
1. missing fonts or incorrect locale settings. Having said that I guess you may fix this in two ways:
 a) set locale (LC_*, LANG variables) according to your language in shell files in app VM in bashrc (or in template VM in /etc),
 b) install missing fonts in template VM.
2. Alternatively you may download the non-minimal template VM and use it instead - minimal VMs may miss fonts for your locale, using non-minimal VM may help.

Hi, Oleg! Thank you for your input.

I fixed the issue by installing missing packages. Those packages are:
liberation-fonts-common liberation-mono-fonts liberation-sans-fonts
liberation-serif-fonts
