 From what i recall, that was a few years ago.

I'm fully aware that I can change fonts in Konsole.  That's the norm for 
terminal apps.  I just think it should be more consistent with upstream 
KDE.

One can change the default monospace font for the spin from Noto
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/DefaultToNotoFonts
As an example Deepin adds a font configuration file to:
$HOME/.config/fontconfig/conf.d/

There is a tool to allow you to make changes per language:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/FontConfigurationTool
as not all fonts cover glyphs in every language.  Hack fonts have fewer
glyphs than Noto, hence the choice to use Noto as default.

The following was recently added and may also be of interest:
