the symlink is automatically installed by the fontconfig package, which makes most fonts on websites to be rendered by "Red Hats Liberation" fonts (github, reddit at least).
I much prefer to look at DejaVu fonts, and if I remove that symlink all is fine, but since the symlink is reinstated on package upgades I wonder what the proper way is to disable it.

Hello Damjan,
As the wiki page about Font configuration mentions 'The settings in the per-user configuration have precedence over the global configuration',
you could try to create a link to /dev/null with the same name as 30-metric-aliases.conf:
$ ln -s /dev/null $HOME/.config/fontconfig/conf.d/30-metric-aliases.conf
I have not tested this, so I do not guarantee it will work as expected.

Nope, a /dev/null symlink doesn't help
$ fc-match arial
Fontconfig error: "/home/damjan/.config/fontconfig/conf.d/30-metric-aliases.conf", line 1: no element found
LiberationSans-Regular.ttf: "Liberation Sans" "Regulara valid but empty 30-metric-aliases.conf file also doesn't mask the system file

OK then remove the link to /dev/null and copy 30-metric-aliases.conf to $HOME/.config/fontconfig/conf.d
and in the copy change the fonts you don't want with the Dejavu font.
You could also install the ttf-ms-fonts AUR package or some other similar font packages.
