Noticed the UI font looked quite different after installing Fedora 37, and this appears to be why: ╶➤ gsettings get org.gnome.desktop.interface font-name 'Noto Sans 10' ╶➤ fc-match 'Noto Sans' NotoSans-DisplayRegular.ttf: "Noto Sans" "Display Regular" This seems to happen unconditionally for all uses of Noto Sans (Regular). Compare with e.g. Fedora 36: ╶➤ fc-match 'Noto Sans' NotoSans-Regular.ttf: "Noto Sans" "Regular" (I'm not sure whether this is the correct package for this report; apologies if it belongs somewhere else.)
Please attach a log for "rpm -qa google-noto*"

...and on that note, removing google-noto-sans-fonts does force the use of Noto Sans Regular from the -vf-fonts package, although still not clear why that wasn't already preferred.
Thanks. How did you install that? we should need to update something but not sure what it is. maybe .ks somewhere else.
Packages were installed via the equivalent of # dnf install $(dnf group info fonts |sed -ne '/Default/,/Optional/ { /:/ d; p}') google-noto-sans-fonts google-noto-emoji-fonts [...] as a post-installation step from a minimal install. The inclusion of those two particular google-noto-sans-* packages here is a holdover from releases dating to well before the introduction of the variable fonts packages, so it's not an issue to just remove them -- now that I know about it -- but just surprising that it happened now, and not on Fedora 36 in particular.
There are a lot of misgenerated family names in Noto Sans Display fonts and upstream seems decided to drop Display fonts from archive. so I'll remove it from package too.
I think it also related to this bug: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2144195 After I blacklisted Display fonts in fonts.conf it went away.
