You can try adding the following to ~/.fonts.conf: <?xml version="1.0"?> <!DOCTYPE fontconfig SYSTEM "fonts.dtd"> <!-- ~/.fonts.conf for per-user font configuration --> <fontconfig> <alias> <family>monospace</family> <prefer> <family>Bitstream Vera Sans Mono</family> <family>Luxi Mono</family> <family>Andale Mono</family> <family>Courier New</family> <family>Miriam Mono</family> <family>Nimbus Mono L</family> <family>Kochi Gothic</family> <family>ZYSong18030</family> <family>AR PL SungtiL GB</family> <family>AR PL Mingti2L Big5</family> <family>Baekmuk Gulim</family> </prefer> </alias> </fontconfig> Don't know if that will work. I haven't tried it myself, but it is what the documentation (/usr/share/doc/fontconfig-2.2.1/fontconfig-user.html) said to do. > Currently it seems that the monospace font is > "luxi mono".
