GARH what's making it use that fucking font

FC_DEBUG=1 claims it's using Cantarell, Times, Arial, Ubuntu and nothing else but my eyes disagree

@deneb Does that change depending on the app?

I believe both GTK and Qt have their own font configs/overrides, so depending on what toolkit a program uses to render its UI, that might change.

@deneb Also for that app specifically (sounds like an Electron webapp):

Editor: Font Family out of the command palette? 🩷

@kithop electron yes

it's just Arduino IDE that's fucked (and pesistently so)

the editor font is fine, and it doesn't let you choose the font for the rest of the UI

@deneb Hmm, I'm going to go back to my first guess, then.

https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Uniform_look_for_Qt_and_GTK_applications

Not sure what desktop environment you're using, but if it's GNOME (GTK3) or KDE Plasma (Qt 5/6), checking these configs might be worth a shot.

You can likely test different environment variables there when starting the IDE out of a terminal window before committing to anything system-wide.
