Oxygen Mono font is no longer considered monospace after updating packages

I’ve been using Oxygen Mono as my monospace font in the kitty terminal emulator, after I failed to get Monaco working (I installed it, but it was not considered monospace by the system). When I updated my packages yesterday, Oxygen Mono stopped working in kitty, and fc-query shows that it doesn’t have a spacing value. kitty wasn’t updated in this batch of updates and the font itself is still recognised by the system and hasn’t moved or been modified. I have no idea what caused this or how to fix it.

Here is my output for inxi -Fazy:

I know this is just a workaround and not a solution, but I standardised on Envy Code R because it’s a font developed by a coder for coders.

Never had any trouble with that font and it works great in terminals too!
