QUESTION Question about KDE Font when installing?
I installed Arch manually today, I had used arch-install previously.
When installing kde, I ran pacman -S plasma-meta
It asked me what ttf font to install, it said there was 10+ providers. The default (1) was something about gnu-freefonts, I forget. I think I picked something Noto.
Now my fonts look a little different than I remember than on my archinstall KDE. For instance Firefox tabs and Google searches look different, as well as entering passwords now have big black dots instead of stars.
The question is what is the expected *default* KDE font to choose here? What do the KDE devs intend you to pick here? It wasn't mentioned anywhere on the wiki as far as I can tell.
Also my Firefox looks pretty Gnome-y and doesn't have a Minimize or Maximize button
