[SOLVED]Installed fonts not being listed in gnome terminal preferences

Hey, just installed the nerd fonts layout through the AUR package nerd-fonts-complete. I found this relevant Font Configuration wiki page and this one on manually installing Fonts.
As I understood, I need to move the font files to either the already specified font paths both for Font Config and Xserver or add the custom paths myself. Which I did.

/etc/X11/xorg.conf content:

Section "Module"
	Load "modesetting"
EndSection

Section "Device"
	Identifier "nvidia"
	Driver "nvidia"
	BusID "1:0:0"
	Option "AllowEmptyInitialConfiguration"
EndSection

Section "Files"
	FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/nerd-fonts-complete/ttf/"
EndSection

Output of grep /fonts /var/log/Xorg.0.log:

[     4.914] (WW) The directory "/usr/share/fonts/misc" does not exist.
[     4.916] (WW) The directory "/usr/share/fonts/Type1" does not exist.
[     4.916] (WW) The directory "/usr/share/fonts/100dpi" does not exist.
[     4.916] (WW) The directory "/usr/share/fonts/75dpi" does not exist.
	/usr/share/fonts/nerd-fonts-complete/ttf/,
	/usr/share/fonts/TTF,
	/usr/share/fonts/OTF

Output of fc-list | grep -i hack:

 rodrigo  ~  fc-list | grep -i hack        
/usr/share/fonts/nerd-fonts-complete/ttf/Hack Italic Nerd Font Complete Mono.ttf: Hack Nerd Font Mono:style=Italic

/usr/share/fonts/nerd-fonts-complete/ttf/Hack Bold Italic Nerd Font Complete Mono.ttf: Hack Nerd Font Mono:style=Bold Italic
/usr/share/fonts/nerd-fonts-complete/ttf/Hack Regular Nerd Font Complete.ttf: Hack Nerd Font:style=Regular
/usr/share/fonts/nerd-fonts-complete/ttf/Hack Italic Nerd Font Complete.ttf: Hack Nerd Font:style=Italic
/usr/share/fonts/nerd-fonts-complete/ttf/Hack Regular Nerd Font Complete Mono.ttf: Hack Nerd Font Mono:style=Regular
/usr/share/fonts/nerd-fonts-complete/ttf/Hack Bold Italic Nerd Font Complete.ttf: Hack Nerd Font:style=Bold Italic
/usr/share/fonts/nerd-fonts-complete/ttf/Hack Bold Nerd Font Complete Mono.ttf: Hack Nerd Font Mono:style=Bold

Should I just move everything to the default paths?

What do you mean by default paths and what would you aim to achieve by that move?

Oh and welcome to the arch linux forums VanillaLandlord.

The paths specified by default as the "fonts paths", which apparently are:

/usr/share/fonts/TTF,
/usr/share/fonts/OTF

And by moving to said defalt paths, I was hoping the Xserver would be able to identify the new fonts.
Thank you! smile

Re: [SOLVED]Installed fonts not being listed in gnome terminal preferences

Which application is unable to find the fonts using the X?
In /usr/share/fonts/nerd-fonts-complete/ttf/ did you run?

$ mkfontscale
$ mkfontdir

I did now, still didn't work. I didn't before because I assumed it wasn't needed in more recent versions.

Edit: the application is the gnome-terminal.

Re: [SOLVED]Installed fonts not being listed in gnome terminal preferences

gnome-terminal uses font-config and the output you posted shows font-config already listing fonts in /usr/share/fonts/nerd-fonts-complete/ttf.
How have you configured gnome-terminal to use those fonts?

The fonts are not listed in the preferences menu. Am I supposed to configure the font paths for gnome-terminal?

Edit: I found this workaround. But it really isn't the optimal solution since it forces me have the same font (including size) on all applications.
