Monospaced font defaulting to the wrong type
Hi,
I installed ttf-andika from the AUR, and now many programs are defaulting to andika font as a monospaced font, which is not.
fc-match monospace
Andika-Regular.ttf: "Andika" "Regular"My window manager is openbox. This is a custom install.
Removing the package didn't help.

you likely added such config yourself?

Re: Monospaced font defaulting to the wrong type
Since then I installed more fonts (ttf-noto-extra) and this behaves well again.
andika don't show at your grep.
Maybe the fontconfig didn't work well after andika.
I saw in

andika is (maybe because no longer installed) not detected as monospace font.
this behaves well again
Please always remember to mark resolved threads by editing your initial posts subject - so others will know that there's no task left, but maybe a solution to find.
Thanks.
If you decide to re-install andika you could re-check whether it's listed as monospace font.
