[SOLVED] Terminal text rendering problem

Hi I've just installed arch again after some time because I wanted to give LXDE a try and everything is good except the console font rendering with spaces and overlapping. I think I've encountered this before but don't remember the fix, highly appreciate if anyone knows whats up, thanks!

I have it set as monospace and the output is
NotoSans-Regular.ttc: "Noto Sans" "Regular"

You need a monospace font. Install ttf-dejavu and make sure it shows up in the command output.

There's the problem - you need to install a monospace font.  If you don't have anything else to go on, I'd suggest installing ttf-dejavu.
