[SOLVED] Installing otf-font-awesome breaks fonts

Installing package otf-font-awesome breaks fonts in apps. For example in firefox (or ungoogled chromium) on some sites like wikipedia.org i see blank pages with some random symbols and it replaces firefox default font and even if i choose different font in settings the problem stays. I also have Hack Nerd font insatlled and it works perfectly.

OS: Arch Linux x86_64
Kernel: 6.8.5-arch1-1
WM: Hyprland (Wayland)

So far I've tried:

 sudo pacman -Suy

rebooting
installing font using pacman and just directly copying files into 

 /usr/share/fonts/OTF

and running 

 $ fc-cache

.
deleting my font and installing this one first.
creating config in 

 /etc/fonts/local.conf

which looked like

 <?xml version='1.0'?>
<!DOCTYPE fontconfig SYSTEM 'fonts.dtd'>
<fontconfig>
        <alias>
                <family>serif</family>
                <prefer>
                        <family>HackNerdFont</family>
                </prefer>
        </alias>
        <alias>
                <family>sans</family>
                <prefer>
                        <family>Liberation Sans</family>
                </prefer>
        </alias>
        <alias>
                <family>monospace</family>
                <prefer>
                        <family>HackNerdFont</family>
                </prefer>
        </alias>
</fontconfig>

and maybe a few different versions of this config but this one was the last one.
enabling 50-user.conf and 51-local.conf presets.
and something else i've already forgotten about.

Also 

 fc-match

outputs awesome when font is installed and it doesn't change no matter which configs i use.

Re: [SOLVED] Installing otf-font-awesome breaks fonts

fc-match -s sans
fc-conflist

otf-font-awesome doesn't come w/ a config so it should™ not impact any defaults.

Re: [SOLVED] Installing otf-font-awesome breaks fonts

Actually there's more oddity: Hack, LiberationMono and SourceCodePro are all monospace fonts and should not match "sans" at all.
What happens if you install dejavu?

Re: [SOLVED] Installing otf-font-awesome breaks fonts

Your fonts probably now work - you had no actual variable sans-serif font installed (besides *maybe* liberation sans, but that's now gone?) and fontconfig just resorted to some monospace font.
Once you installed awesome it took the main spot as it's (likely) not marked as fixed width.

Re: [SOLVED] Installing otf-font-awesome breaks fonts

What config?
You're getting hack as a last resort.

The one you posted mapped sans to liberation sans which doesn't even seem to exist(?) and everything else to a mis-spelled version of hack
~/.config/fontconfig/conf.d/99-hack.conf

 <?xml version='1.0'?>
<!DOCTYPE fontconfig SYSTEM 'fonts.dtd'>
<fontconfig>
        <alias>
                <family>serif</family>
                <prefer>
                        <family>Hack Nerd Font</family>
                </prefer>
        </alias>
        <alias>
                <family>sans</family>
                <prefer>
                        <family>Hack Nerd Font</family>

Re: [SOLVED] Installing otf-font-awesome breaks fonts

You could try to unconditionally

<?xml version='1.0'?>
<!DOCTYPE fontconfig SYSTEM 'fonts.dtd'>
<fontconfig>
  <match>
    <edit mode="prepend" name="family">
      <string>Hack Nerd Font</string>
    </edit>
  </match>
</fontconfig>
