Fonts in Firefox weird after installing kubuntu-desktop

Question

I've installed KDE with the intentions to try it out, but now, after removing it and going back to Unity, I noticed that the fonts in Firefox are still like in KDE.

How can I revert the font type to before KDE was installed?

Try to reconfigure fonts . See this question How do I change fonts and adjust their size? — NickTux, Oct 30 '12 at 18:27
All the fonts are already set to default in there, and this only happens with Firefox, all other apps are fine. — DoGoDo, Oct 30 '12 at 18:31

The solution is removing .fonts.conf placed by KDE. This restored the fonts to normal.

Hey, where is the .fonts.conf in Ubuntu? – esnowrackley Feb 12 '13 at 22:33

Hidden in your home directory. Press Ctrl+H to show. – Rasmus Jun 26 '13 at 21:09
the new directory is ~/.config/fonts.conf – mchid Apr 04 '15 at 23:50

For Ubuntu 14.04, remove the .fonts.conf file in ~/.config/fontconfig

rm ~/.config/fontconfig/.fonts.conf

Go to:

edit->preferences
Click, 'Content'
Go down to fonts and colors/colours and change the font to whichever you would prefer.

It's set to the defaults, and changing it doesn't change interface fonts. – DoGoDo Oct 31 '12 at 07:03
Well then, sorry you're flipped in as far as my knowledge of Ubuntu. But I'll leave this answer here in case someone comes across your question with a question that is answered by my answer. – Josh Pinto Oct 31 '12 at 12:47
