That's easily fixed by ammending the list of fonts included in the sans-serif, serif and monospace lists. Make the fonts you prefer appear before the fonts you dislike and fontconfig will happily provide them first in the list to the application. in your ~/.fonts.conf, you can add: <alias> <family>sans-serif</family> <prefer> <family>Favorite Sans-Serif Cyrillic Font Name Here</family> </prefer> </alias> <alias> <family>serif</family> <prefer> <family>Favorite Serif Cyrillic Font Name Here</family> </prefer> </alias> <alias> <family>monospace</family> <prefer> <family>Favorite Monospace Cyrillic Font Name Here</family> </prefer> </alias> -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
