Hi David, indeed I went to a new installation and forgot about that piece:

I used to do this in a different way -- executing the commands:

sudo bash
cp $(kpsewhich -var-value TEXMFSYSVAR)/fonts/conf/texlive-fontconfig.conf
/etc/fonts/conf.d/09-texlive.conf
fc-cache -fsv


and I have 3 quick questions:

Are there real differences between the end up results of your way and this
way?

What is exactly the file to be modified, in the way you suggest?

Is this in TL instructions?

That was going to be my next step on the list.
