No, it should not. I assume you did not change you system either? (System or
Xcode update etc...) Things that work sometimes are not easy to debug. Let's
try: 

Can you do the following:

a) delete fontconfig cache: open Terminal.app and type "rm -r
~/.cache/fontconfig/". Is Octave working now?

b) delete Octave settings: open Terminal.app and type "rm ~/.octave*" and
"rm -r ~/.config/octave/". Is Octave working now?

c) try to open octave manually: open Terminal.app and type "cd
/Applications/Octave.app/Contents/Resources/usr/bin/ && ./octave"

Does any of this help?

Sebastian
