It seems they've updated SF Pro / Compact fonts to fit the latest Big Sur version. I'm currently using Big Sur and only upgrading to the beta could be solution.

Had a similar problem and managed to solve it.

First of all, try to validate your fonts. In the Font Book app select all fonts, then File > Validate Selection. Also it is worth to try to resolve duplicates. In Font Book app File > Resolve Duplicates. More about Font Book here

If nothing helped, then open /Library/Fonts and remove all SF- fonts and then download the latest version of SF fonts from Apple.

I had the same issue and even after installing the newest SF Pro fonts the error kept popping up. The problem was that I had installed the newest fonts for all users (/Library/Fonts) but had previously installed the fonts for my user only (~/Library/Fonts). The fonts for users override the fonts for all users. Removing my user's fonts solved the issue.
