Should I file a new report for 24.04 ?

Not being able to change the default font for whole interface is quite annoying,
furthermore when the latest Ubuntu font family pretends to offer some really good condensed ones ;-)

Even weirder font-manager does not seem to have any problem to show them
( picture attached ).

For now my final trick :

Bug description:
  Hi,

  fresh lunar lobster installation here,

  from legacy iso image ( ubiquity installer. )

  As I usually do, I tried to change the font for interface, as I much
  prefer « condensed » fonts rather than large, round, regular ones.

  In 20.04 or 22.04 or 22.10 gnome-tweaks allowed to do that.

  Today in 24.04 ( and since 23.04 ) it only changes font in gnome-shell
  ( top panel, activities and app's views ) but not in other app's, not
  in the whole interface as it used to do.

  In dconf-editor I did not find entries regarding « global » interface
  font.

  Is this intended behavior ?

  Ability to change font type and size is also a matter of
  accessibility.
