Description:
Using the latest community package for ttf-inconsolata (20151221.480630d-2) leads to misrepresented unicode characters (e.g., the dot symbol in systemctl status <yourservice>).
When using a more recent version from upstream, the unicode characters are displayed just fine.
Also, it would be possible to directly download the fonts from upstream by using the download URL (in case this is compatible with the license). See proposed PKGBUILD file in the attachment.

Additional info:
* package version: ttf-inconsolata 20151221.480630d-2
* config (.Xdefaults): urxvt.font: xft:Inconsolata:size=14


Steps to reproduce:
* Set ttf-inconsolata as font in URXVT
* Run 'systemctl status sshd'
* See: Dot symbol is a square (silimar to [])
