fonts changed after installing ttf-ms-fonts
I installed ttf-ms-fonts, and after a reboot, all fonts in XFCE and the applications have been changed. I want the original fonts back (I think they were Noto). How do I do this?
# fc-mathc -f
did not help.

Re: fonts changed after installing ttf-ms-fonts
"fc-match", "-f" would take an argument and I fail to see how this would ever *change* your fonts…
Does "#" mean you're running as root?
Other than that:

Yes, I meant executing "fc-match -f" as root.
My "solution" was to # pacman -Rs ttf-ms-fonts and to restart.
A real solution should be to copy the contents of /etc/fonts/, install ttf-ms-fonts, and copy back the backup, isn't it?

No, it's not. Read the linked wiki.
Don't run fc-whatever as root - it's not required and not helpful.
