We can change it manually but such changes do not apply to some applications or application types e.g. snap apps etc. LKLUG (last active: 2012) no one maintain it now. https://web.archive.org/web/20220000000000*/http://www.lug.lk/ http://www.lug.lk/fonts/lklug **What expected to happen?** We would like to see Noto serif sinhala as the default font for sinhala language https://fonts.google.com/noto/specimen/Noto+Serif+Sinhala [Highlighs: clear (readable), thin, takes less space than sans sinhala] If noto sans is more suitable for ubuntuOS, you can add noto sans sinhala https://fonts.google.com/noto/specimen/Noto+Sans+Sinhala [Highlighs: clear (readable), thick, takes more space than serif sinhala] **Additional details** Screenshots (see the difference: LKLUG/Noto) LKLUG https://i.ibb.co/nbHM5Mw/lklug.jpg Noto Sinhala https://i.ibb.co/k9dbtYb/noto.jpg If you need more examples or clarifications, please add a comment Random posts 1. https://groups.google.com/g/Sinhala-Unicode/c/LYxuJ44dY3g 2. https://twitter.com/thilinag/status/1598707165920825344#m (LKLUG bug with some apps) 3. https://www.reddit.com/r/srilanka/comments/nzpl9p/change_sinhala_font_in_ubuntu/ Also, some developers already have designed tools, scripts for that problem however many people do not try to find these scripts and switch to other OS 1. https://github.com/IMS94/UbuntuSinhalaFont (developer: PMC chair @apache) 2. https://gist.github.com/thilinag/66577033fafd00c3dfdaa898c2478c79 3. https://github.com/hankyoTutorials/linux-system-sinhala-font-changer Please review details, screenshots and posts.
