I found some similar post but not fully satisfied with answers and not fully related to this question.

Default font in elementary OS is Dejavu Sans by command fc-match

Output in EOS : $ fc-match

DejaVuSans.ttf: "DejaVu Sans" "Book"

Output for this script :

for family in serif sans-serif monospace Arial Helvetica Verdana "Times New Roman" "Courier New"; do
  echo -n "$family: "
  fc-match "$family"
done

Is this :

serif: DejaVuSerif.ttf: "DejaVu Serif" "Book"
sans-serif: Arimo-Regular.ttf: "Arimo" "Regular"
monospace: Cousine-Regular.ttf: "Cousine" "Regular"
Arial: Arimo-Regular.ttf: "Arimo" "Regular"
Helvetica: Arimo-Regular.ttf: "Arimo" "Regular"
Verdana: DejaVuSans.ttf: "DejaVu Sans" "Book"
Times New Roman: Tinos-Regular.ttf: "Tinos" "Regular"
Courier New: Cousine-Regular.ttf: "Cousine" "Regular"

This font applied to all languages in Elementary OS system Example scenario :

When you install Firefox or Chromium you will find that browser default font choose Dejavu Sans and compare this scenario in windows system that choose Segoe UI.

As other apps can show you too, that for ENG and other languages like Germany and Japanese and Persian or Arabic Dejavu Sans is chosen.

I want to change fc-match font in Elementary OS

This help me to change font for all language and choose a better replace font.

Feedback for EOS Dev team :

Please consider another font for Elementary OS than Dejavu Sans for System Fonts

I have the same output of the fc-match command but my default font is different - changed by me using graphical interface provided by elementary tweaks. It is a third party package which gives additional options into system settings. See the accepted answer there how to install it - https://elementaryos.stackexchange.com/a/17240/12483

  • But I don't understand what the problem is? As I wrote before, I have the same output of fc-match command like you, but If I change the default font using elementary-tweaks, the font of all applications is changed to the ones I choose there. What do you want to achieve? To change the default fonts or the output of the fc-match command?
