I've been dealing with this absolutely bizarre issue for a few weeks now where
installed fonts seem to be "forgotten" on boot. My desktop is a combination of
tiling window manager (i3) and status bar (polybar), and when I start up my
computer I find that the compact bitmap font (curie, manually installed) that
the status bar is supposed to use has been replaced by a much larger and uglier
font

After digging around to see if either of the above programs were the cause of
it (some change made to the status bar's configuration when updating the
program, etc.), I discovered that apparently the font I assigned to the status
bar was no longer part of the system font cache--"fc-list | grep curie" returns
nothing. The bizarre part is, the font files are still in their directory in
/usr/share/fonts/, and running "sudo fc-cache -fv" results in the fonts both
appearing on my status bar and showing up when I run "fc-list."
