I am running Bazzite and downloaded the google fonts from github and extracted all the .ttf files into a folder. I then drag and dropped them into the font manager. All installed correctly.

When I rebooted, I notice that some of my apps now show the fonts as italics. Firefox and Thunderbird show italics, certain websites (like reddit and homarr) all show in italics no matter what type of browser I use.

I rebuilt my font cache multiple times to troubleshoot but no dice. I tried changing the sytem font to something else, no dice. Wondering where to go from here? I am running KDE.

    Some fonts may require additional configuration to display properly, so usually manual installation should be avoided.

    Please run (and post the result here) fc-match sans and fc-match serif to check fontconfig picks wrong italic font. If that’s the case, try to remove the TTF files you’ve installed via the font manager you’re using, then install the fonts via the package manager - it should configures fonts properly.

      When I run fc-match sans I get NotoSans-Regular.ttf: "Noto Sans" "Regular"

      and when i run fc-match serif I get NotoSerif-Regular.ttf: "Noto Serif" "Regular"

      All things seem normal :/

      Edit: I made a new user account and the fonts are all fixed on that one. Wondering if I should just move everything to my new account -_-
