LANG="en_US.UTF-8"
Maybe everything's ok here. I removed "iso something or other" from the locales, and I don't seem to have a problem anymore. I'm going to changed this to solved.
Thanks everybody!

In addition to uncommenting the locale and generating it, you also need to tell the system which of the uncommented ones to use (you can have more than one uncommented you know). This is done in a file in /etc. As mentioned, the locale wiki will tell you which one...

You just have a very minor typo. The correct file is /etc/locale.gen not /etc/locale-gen.

I suggest comparing /etc/pango/pango.modules
Looks the same to me...

I think this tends to be a problem with pango. Here's an old thread.
I suggest comparing /etc/pango/pango.modules to the output of:
pango-querymodules
$ locale
LANG=C
LC_CTYPE="C"
LC_NUMERIC="C"
LC_TIME="C"
LC_COLLATE="C"
LC_MONETARY="C"
LC_MESSAGES="C"
LC_PAPER="C"
LC_NAME="C"
LC_ADDRESS="C"
LC_TELEPHONE="C"
LC_MEASUREMENT="C"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="C"
LC_ALL=
Thanks.
I think my locale stuff is ok. Still, very weird and mysterious.
You think so, but does your system? I'd really make sure it is oke.

Then locate tweak tool under accessories menu and open it. In fonts section you can make your choices about fonts.
For the problem you are describing maybee you should check out your locale too. https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Locale
]]>Also, I haven't changed it yet, so it is doing this with the default font.
