Whenever I install the noto-fonts package via pacman, the "monospace" alias gets configured wrong to a regular font instead of a mono-spaced font.

You can check that the noto-fonts package has a problem as follows.

1. Make a clean Arch installation.
2. (sudo) pacman -S xorg xorg-drivers
3. (sudo) pacman -S noto-fonts noto-fonts-cjk noto-fonts-emoji
4. fc-match monospace
5. The above will output: NotoSans-Recular.ttc "Noto Sans" "Regular"
6. (sudo) pacman -S ttf-dejavu
7. fc-match monospace
8. The above will output: DejavuSansMono.ttf: "DejaVu Sans Mono" "Book"

You can see number 5 is clearly wrong. When you install noto-fonts, the monospace alias is aliased to a variable width "Sans" font, unlike ttf-dejavu which handles the alias as expected to a "Mono"-spaced font.
This task depends upon

Added fontconfig files in 20170307-2. You'll still need to manually symlink them in /etc/fonts/conf.d for them to take effect.
