Noto fonts - ugly and unreadable for everyone or just me?

[Richard W.M. Jones]

So I upgraded from Fedora 35-ish to 37 recently, and the most obvious
thing is the change to Google Noto fonts
(https://www.fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/DefaultToNotoFonts)

Wow oh wow, are these fonts ugly and unreadable for everyone or is it
just a peculiarity of my system or of the upgrade process?

I have mostly been able to switch applications back to DejaVu fonts,
but I still can't work out how to get XFCE and Firefox to restore
readable fonts for the window decorations, menus and URL bar.
