Broken monospace fonts
Some apps like VSCode and Alacritty seem to be unable to load mono-space fonts correctly and use their default fonts. Been looking into this for two weeks but no bueno. Not everything is broken as apps like Kate seem and flatpak items seem to still work. It's mostly items from Nix that seem to be unable to resoolve fonts.
I've tried multiple things including resetting nix, rebasing to Bazzite (from Aurora) and few more minore things. Appreciate any pointers.

This turned out to something fishy replacing "Noto Sans Mono" files with "Noto Sans" font. That is, there's
ttf on the system that carry the NotoSansMono-XXX.ttf title but are actually Noto Sans proportional. And the trouble is, this was my system's default monospace font and also my configured font for Alacritty.
And yeah, this was not a nix problem and I'm just using the NotoSansM Nerd Font that comes from the nix nerd-font.noto package to get everything sorted....1 Reply
