Should I go with a different system font?

Why won't you try and do it instead of asking?

How?
Also, I haven't changed it yet, so it is doing this with the default font.

To change your fonts globally install gnome-tweak-tool. As root in terminal run this
pacman -S gnome-tweak-tool
Then locate tweak tool under accessories menu and open it. In fonts section you can make your choices about fonts.
For the problem you are describing maybee you should check out your locale too. https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Locale
Do a pacman -Syu to your brain regularly

Thanks.
I think my locale stuff is ok. Still, very weird and mysterious.

You think so, but does your system? I'd really make sure it is oke.

Does this look right?
$ locale
LANG=C
LC_CTYPE="C"
LC_NUMERIC="C"
LC_TIME="C"
LC_COLLATE="C"
LC_MONETARY="C"
LC_MESSAGES="C"
LC_PAPER="C"
LC_NAME="C"
LC_ADDRESS="C"
LC_TELEPHONE="C"
LC_MEASUREMENT="C"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="C"
LC_ALL=

You should probably set a UTF-8 locale. Check the wiki how it's done.

I think this tends to be a problem with pango. Here's an old thread.
I suggest comparing /etc/pango/pango.modules to the output of:
pango-querymodules

I thought I did! I uncommented "en_US.UTF-8 UTF-8" in /etc/locale.gen, and ran "sudo locale-gen".

Looks the same to me...

You just have a very minor typo. The correct file is /etc/locale.gen not /etc/locale-gen.

Thanks evana, the typo is what I typed here on the forum. The actual file I edited was the one you mentioned.
I corrected my post.

In addition to uncommenting the locale and generating it, you also need to tell the system which of the uncommented ones to use (you can have more than one uncommented you know). This is done in a file in /etc. As mentioned, the locale wiki will tell you which one...

My /etc/locale.conf has:
LANG="en_US.UTF-8"
Maybe everything's ok here. I removed "iso something or other" from the locales, and I don't seem to have a problem anymore. I'm going to changed this to solved.
Thanks everybody!
