All characters replaced by unknown glyph #754

I just encountered a problem with Termite and am not sure what to make of it. Now all characters (including normal ASCII) is being displayed as the "unknown Unicode character" of 4 digits in a small box. I have tried changing the font configuration, and it seems to respect the size (eg if I change from Fixed 12 to Fixed 9 and restart, the glyphs are smaller) but nothing results in displaying plain ASCII. Plain xterm works fine.

This is on Arch Linux, en_US.UTF8 locale. I'm not sure exactly when this problem started as I haven't used this machine recently.

Screenshot is parallel displays of same dir xterm vs termite, you can see even the terminal colors are respected.

This seems to have been a fontconfig issue
