Font issues with non-GTK applications in XFCE
Hello,
I am again having the same issues with fold fonts in some non-gtk application, such as burpsuite:

For whatever reason, everything is bold...
Originally, this was an issue with ancient arial font installed on my system but that one is removed now.
I tried running "fc-match helvetica" but the result was a font that is not installed on my system...

In i3, there are no simular issues...
Does anyone have an idea howto solve it?
Or is it possible to somewhere download a working font config and use it for my system?
Thank you

Sure? You posted the same image twice, I guess you wanted to post the fc-match ouput (and please as text)?
Also
fc-match sans
fc-match sans-serifOr is it possible to somewhere download a working font config and use it for my system?
You cannot download a "working font config" for *your*system and I don't think that's the issue here.
Burpsuite is java, does this affect *non* java clients as well?
Try to install some usable mickeysoft fonts, https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Java#Illegible_fonts

Output of asked commands, in order you asked:
NotoSans-Regular.ttf: "Noto Sans" "Regular"
NotoSans-Regular.ttf: "Noto Sans" "Regular
Good point regarding the java - no. Both application with weird roboto (my default for xfce) use java.

Re: Font issues with non-GTK applications in XFCE
The default font seems to be Noto - did you try to install https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/ttf-ms-fonts/ ?

Re: Font issues with non-GTK applications in XFCE
Yes, they are installed. Roboto still looks super weird...

Does this only affect roboto?

Re: Font issues with non-GTK applications in XFCE
I'd say java takes roboto-medium as "regular", you could try to move those out of the way and "sudo fc-cache -fs"

Re: Font issues with non-GTK applications in XFCE
May I ask how I can move font "out of the way"?
You mean removing roboto regular?

Re: Font issues with non-GTK applications in XFCE
Not regular, but medium (which is bolder than "regular")
Move /usr/share/fonts/TTF/Roboto-Medium.ttf & /usr/share/fonts/TTF/Roboto-MediumItalic.ttf somwhere out of the font path or remove them entirely. Then rebuild the font cache and see whether Java now picks up "regular" as regular (ie. the default font becoming less bold)
