I've been dealing with this absolutely bizarre issue for a few weeks now where installed fonts seem to be "forgotten" on boot. My desktop is a combination of tiling window manager (i3) and status bar (polybar), and when I start up my computer I find that the compact bitmap font (curie, manually installed) that the status bar is supposed to use has been replaced by a much larger and uglier font
After digging around to see if either of the above programs were the cause of it (some change made to the status bar's configuration when updating the program, etc.), I discovered that apparently the font I assigned to the status bar was no longer part of the system font cache--"fc-list | grep curie" returns nothing. The bizarre part is, the font files are still in their directory in /usr/share/fonts/, and running "sudo fc-cache -fv" results in the fonts both appearing on my status bar and showing up when I run "fc-list."
