What's going on with my #fonts in #gnome recently? I have a nice font selected in #gnomeTweaks but it's using *this* ugly thing. Yuk!

it's probably reverting to the system default, which i think is deja vu sans. the issue might be that your font is installed in a place where gnome-tweaks sees it, but gnome doesn't

@empire Ah ha! thanks, fixed it using #flatseal - turned out to be affecting #flathub apps only. Giving those apps permissions to my font dirs did the trick!

Thanks 🙂

Screenshot 3 showing that adding my font dirs to the Filesystem permissions for Oh My SVG fixes it
Screenshot 2 showing that adding "All user files" dir to the Filesystem permissions for Oh My SVG fixes it
Screenshot 1 showing that with default permissions the Oh My SVG has the wrong fonts

Apply GTK System Themes on Flatpak Apps in Linux

Flatpak applications don't play along well with system themes because of their sandbox nature. With a little effort, you can make them work with system themes.
