Sorry for the late response. I have a theory about what's happening here. I think that you are falling back all the way to sans-serif and the first sans-serif font that Fontconfig is giving us is monospace. Instead we should iterate through the list of fallback fonts until we find one that matches our request or add some other Fontconfig to the request pattern.

I just need a few pieces of information to confirm this theory. Can you please paste the output of the following command?

fc-match Arial
fc-match Helvetica
fc-match Clean
fc-match -a sans-serif
