NimbusSans-Regular.otf: "Nimbus Sans" "Regular"
[spy @ archlinux fonts] $ fc-match "Serif"
NimbusRoman-Regular.otf: "Nimbus Roman" "Regular"

My Linux Arch does not have the bottom.
And what can I do if it is only in /etc/fonts/fonts.conf? Where can I add this configuration mentioned in the link?

[spy@archlinux fonts]$ cat $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/fontconfig/fonts.conf
cat: /fontconfig/fonts.conf: No such file or directory
[spy@archlinux fonts]$ cat /etc/fonts/fonts.conf
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE fontconfig SYSTEM "urn:fontconfig:fonts.dtd">
<!-- /etc/fonts/fonts.conf file to configure system font access -->
<fontconfig>
    <description>Default configuration file</description>

<!--
    DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE.
    IT WILL BE REPLACED WHEN FONTCONFIG IS UPDATED.
    LOCAL CHANGES BELONG IN 'local.conf'.

    The intent of this standard configuration file is to be adequate for
    most environments.  If you have a reasonably normal environment and
    have found problems with this configuration, they are probably
    things that others will also want fixed.  Please submit any
    problems to the fontconfig bugzilla system located at fontconfig.org

    Note that the normal 'make install' procedure for fontconfig is to
    replace any existing fonts.conf file with the new version.  Place
    any local customizations in local.conf which this file references.

Re: [Solved] Tips for changing sans and sans-serif fonts

Please edit yout post and use "code" tags, not "quote" tags.
$XDG_CONFIG_HOME defaults to ~/.config, so add ~/.config/fontconfig/fonts.conf
