First I tried the fc-match. It returned: DejaVuSans.ttf: "DejaVu Sans" "Book" Then I looked for the ~/.config/gtk-3.0/settings.ini file. It did not exist, only "bookmarks" and "gtk.css" existed at that location. So I created the "settings.ini" file and put in there the following: [Settings] gtk-font-name=i"DejaVu Sans" "Book" 11 After that another fc-match with same result: DejaVuSans.ttf: "DejaVu Sans" "Book" Still no luck in Icecat. I restarted it, but still everything in its UI and on all websites is monospaced, despite other settings in "userChrome.css" in my browser profile (for UI) and Icecat preferences (for websites).
