You might be in need to issue a "fc-cache" command.
The command builds cache files that are read by fontconfig. Maybe they
are missing from your system.
I had such an issue a long time ago, so I might be wrong here. But
fc-cache just needs a few seconds to execute so it won't hurt. And it
won't break anything. ;-)
