Thanks Aaron. I didn't give an MWE as it was a preliminary probe to
see if this is a known issue.
Here's the code in question:
#(define fonts
(set-global-fonts
#:roman "Linux Libertine O"
#:sans "Linux Biolinum O"
#:typewriter "Linux Libertine Mono O"
#:factor (/ staff-height pt 20)
))
However, I have only recently moved to Arch, so I am setting up all
anew. After a) going nuts and b) exploring everything there is to be
known about fontconfig, I tried deleting all files in ~/.cache, which
includes a lot of fontconfig cache data. Now the issue has gone away.
I suspect, but I can't be sure that this is a subtle issue - the Linux
Libertine and Biolinum original font site seems to have been defunct
for a long time, and while setting up my new system I had to source
the fonts from a whole lot of dubious free font download sites, and
the all seem to be different all in different ways. I think I just had
a bad set of font data cached. Possibly. but clearing the cache solved
this.
I do not know what happened to the original source of these fonts.
They are veyr fine,. and Biolinum is a very good stand in for Optima.
