Looks like the font is missing, but that should not prevent you from editing the text (if it is not locked).

Can you check the Appearance panel for a Transform Effect and Type > Find/Replace font ?

What happens if you do not select anything and use Edit > Find and Replace > Find  > Replace All?

They are all single text objects? Not symbols? Not an effect? Not the repeat function?

Can you open the layers panel, click on one of those texts on the artboard and then click on the magnifier glass in the Layers panel and show us a screenshot?

Thank you. So everyting is single, not connected, not easy to change the text.

What I would do:

1. Measure the distances.

2. Delete all but the one in the topf left

3. Do this: https://youtu.be/Ro2e2J9fs_0

Sorry for German interface. What you need is: Effect > Distort & Transform and Window > Appearance
