[solved] Foot & Kitty not respecting config settings in config

Hi

After a recent update, foot terminal no longer respects the settings in foot.ini

I currently have set in ~/.config/foot/foot.ini

font=SourceCodePro-Regular:size=8

I am using this font across my system no problem, but foot displaying in a monospace font and displaying this error;

warning: foot: Noto Sans Regular: font does not appear to be monospace; check your config, or disable this warning by setting [tweak].font-monospace-warn=no

Edit
I have also found kitty has the same problem now. Both are trying to use NotoSansMono-Regular. Neither are set to use that font, both are set to use SourceCodePro-Regular:size=8

The problem isn't limited to some TEs, but there isn't any suspicious config file

pacman -Qs noto

Did you only recently update that?

Edit: the config files haven't been touched in 5 years…

Re: [solved] Foot & Kitty not respecting config settings in config

https://archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/fontconfig/ itself was last updated a week ago… what if you downgrade it?

Re: [solved] Foot & Kitty not respecting config settings in config

ok, resolved after reading into what that result meant. Some how, no idea how, SourceCodePro managed to uninstall itself during the upgrade! Fixed by reinstalling the font.
