You have raised very valid point. Monospace font can be either serif or sans. i.e. mono-serif or mono-sans. Have not seen this in fontconfig. Coming to alias file for liberation-mono-fonts says only. <alias binding="same"> <family>Courier New</family> <accept> <family>Liberation Mono</family> </accept> </alias> might be alias file 45-latin.conf causing said issue?
