Since a few days ago, font rendering inside my desktop environment (SwayWM)
seems to have changed.
E.g. title bars are now rendered using a generic monospaced font instead of the
usual one, and Termite does not seem to be able to load the Fira Code font and
falls back to its default font. bemenu is also rendering differently and with a
different font.
I cannot find anything obvious in /var/log/pacman.log. I.e. I have done a full
system upgrade lately but it doesn't seem to include anything that could have
obviously caused this.
Has anyone had anything similar? Where could I look to debug the issue?

Some Manjaro users have had font-related issues that sound similar to
yours after an update earlier this week, which comes from changes made
to the fontconfig package (removed dependency on some fonts). Apparently
updating (or installing) the ttf-dejavu package fixes this (installs the
missing fonts).
The following thread on their forums lists some links to more
information

Possibly this can help and give some insight towards your font issue.
