For anyone who is not super happy with this change from DejaVu to Noto
I just did this to revert it:
1. Create a file called /etc/fonts/conf.d/50-prefer-dejavu.conf
2. Add the following:
<fontconfig>
<alias>
<family>monospace</family>
<prefer>
<family>DejaVu Sans Mono</family>
</prefer>
</alias>
<alias>
<family>sans</family>
<prefer>
<family>DejaVu Sans Book</family>
</prefer>
</alias>
<alias>
<family>serif</family>
<prefer>
<family>DejaVu Serif Book</family>
</prefer>
</alias>
</fontconfig>
3. Save the file and run fc-cache -r
I'm not super familiar with how fontconfig works so if anyone who is
could look over this and suggest a better method it would be greatly
appreciated. But this seems to work if you want the old behaviour
back.
