It should be using 'monospace' instead of 'sans' for that second entry, or alternatively not including that second entry at all. To kludge around this, you might try: <match target="pattern"> <test name="family"> <string>sans-serif</string> </test> <test name="family"> <string>monospace</string> </test> <edit name="family"> <string>monospace</string> </edit> </match> in ~/.fonts.conf This will switch patterns using sans-serif and monospace to prefer monospace instead of sans-serif. -keith
