Fonts on Arch Linux

[Andrew Bernard]

More strangeness on Arch Linux. The /paper command set-global-fonts is
having no effect, no matter what fonts are specified. I have checked
and rechecked font availability. This occurs in 2.20.0 and 2.21.2. I
have not tried earlier versions.

If I explicitly specify a font name for a markup it works. But I
refuse to edit thousands of markup commands. Something here is
different to my previous Ubuntu systems.

What factors may be affecting this? I'm stumped.
