Re: F36 Change: Default To Noto Fonts (System-Wide Change proposal)

Thanks everyone for this work.

I would like to point to a problem with the current config regarding Arabic font.
For Arabic text, The dejavu sans is still being displayed in many webpages in firefox instead of the noto sans.
However, when switching the system language to arabic, firefox correctly displays noto sans arabic which is huge improvment.
But if the system/gnome language is set to english, dejavu is frequently used to display some arabic texts in firefox

The problem with dejavu sans for Arabic is being incredibly ugly and borderline unreadable when bolded.

For example:
-at fedoraproject.org/ar most text exhibit this problem, firefox is using dejavu to render arabic instead of noto sans when the system/gnome language is english
-Youtube video titles
-Most text at podcast.google.com
-Wikipedia.org DOESN'T seem to suffer from this problem, It displays noto sans arabic regardless whether the system language is Arabic or English. (TLDR: this is the desired behavior)

Picture example of the problem: where the first pic shows FFx rendering the text using noto, the second pic it's using dejavu for arabic.

Is this solvable?
