[SOLVED]Changing default fonts

I recently updated Netbeans and one of the new dependencies was ttf-bitstream-vera. After updating, all my fonts went wacky, and Monospace now defaults to Bitstream Vera Sans Mono, and all  webpages without explicit font settings defaults to Bitstream Vera Sans. Is there any way to fix the default fonts?

Re: [SOLVED]Changing default fonts

You have to edit the files in /etc/fonts/conf.d. They are processed in order. Try to edit  45-latin.conf and  60-latin.conf and put the font that you want in top of the list for the serif, monospace, etc... (google for fontconfig configuration for more detail).
