That explains some of the weirdness I've been seeing, like the literal "fixed" leading to DejaVuSansMono while anything derived from "fixed" leading to DejaVuSans (proportional). bodo@sakura:~$ fc-match fixed DejaVuSans.ttf: "DejaVu Sans" "Book" bodo@sakura:~$ fc-match monospace DejaVuSansMono.ttf: "DejaVu Sans Mono" "Book" > In any case, TK in general does allow you to select and control XFT > fonts, and exmh inherits this.
