[Bug 2019906] Re: 24.04 : condensed, bold and black fonts can't be used for interface and title bar

 

It has something to do with variable fonts.

Since it's possible to use any fonts which are not 'variable' ( when
each style has its own file. )

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.
