As you can see in this discourse topic:

https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/let-selection-of-default-fonts-be-based-
on-noto/36923

we are about to install the fonts-noto-core package by default and make
Noto default throughout.

[Bug 1866038] Re: By default install Noto fonts for Unicode ranges not already covered by default

[vishal goswami]

Right now gnome ships with cantarell, it needs to ship with Noto Sans as
default to cover almost 78 languages.

A temporary solution to this problem is to

Install font manager

Install Noto Sans font

Select it as interface text from tweaks

Disable all default fonts and fallback fonts from font manager.

Yeah, I think my idea to ship Noto fonts by default and give them the
highest fontconfig precedence, effectively replacing DejaVu, would cover
the proposal in this bug.

@Henri: What I have in mind has basically already been done in Kubuntu.
It would be great if you could put the Kubuntu ISO
() on a USB stick, run the live
session, and see if the default Kubuntu fonts are to your liking.
