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.

F37 is unreleased beta software. You should post this on the Fedora Test list, not here.

Also, please attach a screenshot so we'll know if it's actually a problem or a personal taste issue.
And don't forget to go to the test list.

I'm running F37. I have attached a couple of shots from my nightly version. I find the legibility acceptable, do you?
For firefox, you can see the font selection in the firefox about:preferences (Edit->Settings->General) shot.
I am running LXDE (so X) and I selected terminus fonts as the default using xfontsel. I found this link for setting default font in XFCE. Not tested. https://docs.xfce.org/xfce/xfce4-settings/appearance
The attachments went over the size limit for the list, so I deleted them, and just sent the text. It should be enough. If the moderator approves it, you will see a duplicate, with the screenshots attached. I'm not sure how long that takes (especially on a Sunday), so thought I would get this to you sooner.
