Looks like the « problem » is still present in Ubuntu 24.04,
where any condensed variant of Ubuntu font family can't be applied
everywhere.
Setting this through dconf-editor
/org/gnome/desktop/interface/font-name

I see the issue in Debian testing with mutter 43.4. So if the issue is
not present in 22.10, and if it is a mutter thing, it may have happened
somewhere between mutter 43.0 and 43.4.

Yes you are right, it's not limited to condensed font variant.

some other gnome components. )
