Screenshot showing the ugly fonts

For a long time I was wondering why in one of the machines I was seeing really ugly fonts when "eselect infinality set infinality" is used (while "linux" profile, for example, didn't have this problem).

Today, I noticed the issue is caused by media-fonts/corefonts package. If it's installed, the ugly fonts are used for gnome-terminal and mails view in evolution (I think the affected font is "Monospace Regular").

I am unsure if, then, maybe the "infinality" profile has some problem, as the other profiles look to not have this problem at all (maybe they bypass "corefonts" in some way :/)

Thanks a lot for your help
