What happens if you try to log in as a different user -- i.e. no pre-existing home folder/MATE config to confuse things?
Years ago before Ubuntu went to disUnity I had a very similar problem it was a corrupted font, in my home folder fonts folder.
Code:
home/username/.local/share/fonts
I had a time tracking it down. But I could log on as guest with no problem.
