I started up arch today and went to open something in mousepad, i noticed that monospace was messed up so i ran "fc-cache -fv" as root and normal user again. Then rebooted now there are more fonts that have messed up like sans etc.
Anyone know how to fix this? Here's the output of fc-cache.
[ash@breakage ~]$ fc-cache -fv

I also noticed on starting up arch it gives an error something like "unable to load default font"
Edit: Also just noticed that the /etc/fonts/ folder has dissapeared.

/etc/fonts belongs to the "fontconfig" package so reinstalling it should restore it on your sysytem.

Thanks fwojciec, just worked that out seconds before thanks for the reply though man.
It worked too, strange that the whole folder just disappeared.
