i3 encoding/font issue

After installing libreoffice on my new arch/i3 this is what it rebooted to.

I've set my locale (which was previously C), and rebooted again. It prints this, but the issue still remains

% locale
LANG=en_US.UTF-8
LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_TIME="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_COLLATE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MESSAGES="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_PAPER="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_NAME="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_ADDRESS="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_TELEPHONE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MEASUREMENT="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_ALL=
% 

Any help would be greatly appreciated, since I have a deadline coming up this week, and this is in the way.

Re: i3 encoding/font issue

This looks like the webding font. Do you have the ttf-ms-fonts package installed? If yes, then try removing that.

Re: i3 encoding/font issue

Thanks for the suggestion. No. I only have noto-fonts which I tried reinstalling, but that didn't do much.
What I also have tried was, removing libreoffice to see if that would restore it. None of these helped so far

Try using Firefox's font inspector to see which font it is.

Edit: Also, take a look at this thread: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=215437

D050000L.otf: "D050000L" "Regular"

Thanks to both. Yes, this seems to be the exact same issue.

loqs, I've tried your "prefer noto moto" config, and caching it out, but no luck

After removing gsfonts (which was a dependency of xpdf) everything was back to normal.

We can close this topic, I'll follow the other one instead.
