[SOLVED] Fonts defaulted after logging in and out

Hi, I've got a problem with fonts and I'm not sure how to fix it.

After logging out of my machine (KDE Plasma) and logging back in (i3wm), something totally unexpected happened: many fonts from the majority of my applications, defaulted.

I'm pretty sure the font they defaulted to is 'JetBrains Mono', which has been 2 years since I last used. Right after this, I uninstalled KDE & its applications (which I think doesn't matter since the problem arose way before me changing anything at all).

Examples: Firefox, Xournal++ & Gimp

Could you help me?

Re: [SOLVED] Fonts defaulted after logging in and out

There is no "default" font in archlinux. You're using the fonts you installed and configured.

1. Which font(s) do you expect to use
2. Post the output of

fc-match sans
fc-match serif
fc-match monospace

It's probably the gtk (theme) settings, KDE can write those for UI alignemnt.

Thank you for your patience.

By editing .gtkrc-2.0 and .config/gtk-3.0/settings.ini configs, I fixed the "issue".

 gtk-font-name = Noto Sans, 10 

I also commented gtk-theme-name to be sure.
