Restore default fonts!

Hi to all. How can i restore the default fonts on arch? I`ve deleted by mistake /etc/fonts/conf.d/*, and now the fonts in terminal look very bad... they are now one on each other .
Thanks in advance.

Re: Restore default fonts!

Re-install the font packages. You can see which ones you have installed with

pacman -Q font

You could probably just do this:

pacman -S $(pacman -Qqes font)

It may re-install a few packages unnecessarily, but it should include all the currently installed font packages.

I believe you are looking to reinstall the fontconfig package. See this wiki page for information and other tips/tweaks: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Font_Configuration
