I'm setting up an Arch box and I've installed Plasma 5 as my desktop environment. However, monospace fonts are behaving very erratically:
- Listed in the 'Fonts' prefpane, it displays fine.
- As part of a terminal emulator, it's fine.
- Firefox slants them something awful in some cases (see forum), and
- will completely miss them in other cases (see post).
It's probably worthwhile to note that evaluating (set-default-font "Oxygen Mono")
in emacs fails with
Invalid font name:
-unknown-Oxygen-Sans-normal-normal-normal-*-15-*-*-*-*-0-iso10646-1
,
suggesting to me that there is some font registration issue. (Note that it's looking for Oxygen Sans…)
How can I achieve sanity and convince these fonts to behave?
Additional information from continuing research:
$ fc-match mono
givesOxygen-Sans.tff: "Oxygen Sans" "Sans-Book"
$ fc-match foo
also givesOxygen-Sans.tff: "Oxygen Sans" "Sans-Book"
0
instead of letterO
0xygen Mono 9
?Oxygen vs 0xygen
– doesn't look like it.
