While users can possibly change the font back, this bug isn't really
about which font the default should be, as that is subjective.

This bug is about the fact that the new font appears misrendered, giving
the default desktop an unpolished look.

The "8" in the date part of the screenshot above looks like it's smaller
than the "2" beside it, and the middle of it looks like it's missing
pixels.

Title:
  UI fonts in 23.04 look bad compared to 22.10

Status in fonts-ubuntu package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  The new version of fonts-ubuntu is causing the UI font to be very thin
  and some characters appear worse than they did in 22.10.

  Here is a screenshot of Kinetic (top) vs Lunar (bottom). The 8 in
  particular is just painful to look at.
