Updated earlier today and some of the packages were gtk, adwaita and related. Is it just me or did anyone else notice this?

GNOME 48 started using a different default font, called Adwaita Sans.

Yeah, this is probably what OP noticed.

Adwaita Sans is a tweaked version of Inter (the main change was to make lowercase I and L look less similar, IIRC) and then Adwaita Mono is basically Iosevka tweaked to match with Inter.

Ah okay. Thank you for the reply.

Just to double check, would anyone be so kind and send a screenshot of any GTK application? (where the change is apparent) I'm pretty sure something is wrong with my font configuration because what I'm seeing isn't pretty.

Thank you.

Looks like my installation is defaulting to nimbus font for some reason.

I saw a lot of gnome updates even though I dont really use it. I'll report back when I next boot up

Fonts are bloat.
