First of all, the <family> directives are the wrong way round: the
first one should contain the generic “monospace”, the second one the
specific “Noto Mono” you want to match.
Secondly, <default> places the font at the end of the match list. You
need <prefer> if you want it to go on the front.
Here’s what I tried putting in my own ~/.config/fontconfig/fonts.conf:
<?xml version='1.0'?>
<!DOCTYPE fontconfig SYSTEM 'fonts.dtd'>
<fontconfig>
<alias>
<family>monospace</family>
<prefer>
<family>Noto Mono</family>
</prefer>
</alias>
</fontconfig>
Here’s what I got before doing the above:
ldo@theon:~> fc-match monospace file family
DejaVu Sans Mono:file=/usr/share/fonts/truetype/dejavu/DejaVuSansMono.ttf
and here’s what I got after:
ldo@theon:~> fc-match monospace file family
Noto Mono:file=/usr/share/fonts/truetype/noto/NotoMono-Regular.ttf
