Currently, the default font-face for the shell theme is set in the CSS
for the theme with the current rule:

"""
/* default text style */
stage {
    font-family: cantarell, sans-serif;
    font-size: 11pt;
    color: white;
}
"""

However, if a font other than cantarell is chosen for the default font
in tweak-tool, cantarell still persists in the shell because of the CSS
override.

is there anyway to set the default sans-serif font for the shell
renderer to be whatever is set as the default? Then the hard-coded
cantarell could be removed from the default theme

That's chosen by font-config. I'm not sure how easy it is to hook up to
the desktop-font GSetting, considering it has abilities like size and
weight: things we typically want to control from the theme ourselves.

Hi! I'm willing to work on a fix for this and came up with two ideas:

It would be possible to just use sans-serif (set it Cantarell) and let
that be changeable via the gnome-tweak-tool.

Another alternative would be to use a different alias like "gnome-shell-
font-overwrite". This would be unset by default (so that the theme font
/ Cantarell is used), but could be set by gnome-tweak-tool.

What do you think?

For simplicity sake (and not adding another option), i'd initally choose #1, 
however i think #2 is the way it should be done.

in tweak tool, you can currently set the font face itself, the size, and
the style/weighting. However sizes / styles for gnome shell are all done
in the CSS, and we just want to set the font-face essentially here, so
my +1 is for adding another item/setting for picking the gnome-shell
font.

One other issue to think about here too is that if a user does set a
font that does to override the font in the CSS, any change in the tweak
tool will not apply to the gnome-shell theme. Maybe we could recognise
this and disable this option if the theme sets something other than
sans-serif?

Hm ... what is the long goal for GNOME Shell themes btw? Because right
now it isn't possible to set a font from Gtk themes, but from Shell
themes. And I think most people want to have the same font for Gtk and
the Shell, so I would say it might be a good idea to ignore the font-
family option in Shell themes completely and simplify the GNOME Tweak
font settings to

 sans-serif   <- GNOME Shell, Gtk Widgets, ...
 serif        <- Default font for web sites
 monospace    <- Terminal and editor font
