DetailsThe font spacing appears too wide in Arch's package of GNOME Console (version 43.0-1, x86_64 architecture). The characters are evidently more spaced than in every other app I use, such as GNOME Text Editor, Black Box, GNOME Builder's in-app terminal, even if they use the same font at the same dimension. The reduced spacing looks nicer so I believe the fault lies with Console.
In the "text-editor-vs-console.png" picture you can find a comparison between Text Editor (above) and Console (below), both coming from the Arch repos. This happens regardless of the particular monospaced font, and specifically with the Arch package (gnome-console): I tried the Flatpak version of the app and its spacing is correct. In the "flatpak-vs-arch.png" picture you can see the Flatpak version (above) against Arch's native package (below). |

Apart from changing the monospaced font in the system settings, I didn't do anything (as far as I remember) font-related. If there's anything else I can share, I'm happy to help, but frankly I don't know where else I can look.
AFAIK Flatpak apps don't (or can't?) see the system font configuration, and in fact flatpak gnome-console doesn't use the monospaced font I chose in the system settings. I don't know very much though, I have to look into it too.
