in the /etc/fonts/local.conf
<!--
Provide required aliases for standard names
-->
<alias>
<family>serif</family>
<prefer>
<family>Bitstream Vera Serif</family>
</prefer>
</alias>
<alias>
<family>sans-serif</family>
<prefer>
<family>Bitstream Vera Sans</family>
</prefer>
</alias>
<alias>
<family>monospace</family>
<prefer>
<family>Bitstream Vera Sans Mono</family>
