Hello, Thank you for your idea. I did not install fontconfig before, but that also did not help, still the same monospaced everywhere. However! I ran Icecat from command line and I saw many warnings (whydid I not do this earlier?!) and they seems to relate to the issue I am seeing:

I think quotes cause it to fail. I just tried quoting the font name in my settings.ini and it switched to a fallback font. Can you try with the following: gtk-font-name=Deja Vu Sans 10 No quotes. It probably helps to use an application to set it too, so you know there's no silly formatting errors.

Icecat is a GTK3 application. Have you tried setting your GTK3 font? You can do so with an application like lxappearance (under the "widget" tab, select "Default font") Alternatively you can set it manually. If I'm not mistaken it should be in the file: ~/.config/gtk-3.0/settings.ini At the bare
