--- Comment #5 from Paul Telles (Starcat) <tellesp2002@gmail.com> ---
IMHO, this is a terrible bug as it turns a lot of people off and leaves them
with a bad impression of FreeBSD that is unwarranted.

My suggested workaround:

1.) Install Google TrueType fonts -- x11-fonts/google-fonts
2.) As an unprivileged desktop user, set the default monospace font:

$ dbus-run-session gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface
monospace-font-name 'Noto Sans Mono 10'

3.) Verify the change with fc-match and/or gsettings:

$ fc-match monospace
NotoSansMono-Regular.ttf: "Noto Sans Mono" "Regular"
$ dbus-run-session gsettings list-recursively org.gnome.desktop.interface |
grep monospace-font-name
org.gnome.desktop.interface monospace-font-name 'Noto Sans Mono 10'

NOTE: The dconf-editor GUI tool can also be used to view and edit GSettings
values.
