about missing installed fonts

Hi,
I suggest including ttf-dejavu and ttf-liberation fonts installed.

After creating a new USB i realized that websites look ugly. Firefox prefers some other font for default because ttf-dejavu and ttf-liberation aren't installed. I didn't check other programs one by one. After getting these fonts via pacman, everything looks nice again.

/etc/fonts/conf.avail/60-latin.conf

<fontconfig>
  <description>Set preferable fonts for Latin</description>
        <alias>
                <family>serif</family>
                <prefer>
                        <family>DejaVu Serif</family>
                        <family>Times New Roman</family>
                        <family>Thorndale AMT</family>
                        <family>Luxi Serif</family>
                        <family>Nimbus Roman No9 L</family>
                        <family>Nimbus Roman</family>
                        <family>Times</family>
                </prefer>

To investigate into this issue can you provide the command used to generate the iso image and from the live desktop environment the output of the following commands:

fc-match serif
fc-match sans
fc-match mono

For the time being you may use the --addpkg command option this way, example generating the Xfce iso image:

sudo aui-mkiso xfce --addpkg ttf-dejavu,ttf-liberation

Thanks for your feedback.

Last time, i directly used your archuseriso-kde-0625-x64.iso file.
I used it again on my spare USB to check what you asked:

Yeah the ugly one is Noto :) After getting ttf-dejavu and ttf-liberation Firefox automatically changed the default font. Not a big deal, but it might be better to have them installed.

live@archiso ~ % fc-match serif
NotoSerif-Regular.ttf: "Noto Serif" "Regular"
live@archiso ~ % fc-match sans
NotoSans-Regular.ttf: "Noto Sans" "Regular"
live@archiso ~ % fc-match mono
NotoSansMono-Regular.ttf: "Noto Sans Mono" "Regular"

That was already the fonts used in previous releases for Kde Plasma. noto-fonts is widely used as it also covers most non latin unicode characters, some are missing with ttf-dejavu.

Thanks for explanation.
