Additionally apparently my `~/.xprofile` specifies `GTK_THEME` which
I have hoped to get get detected/understood by browsers etc, but I think
I decided to not import that to Sway which naturally doesn't read xprofile.
### Fonts
Using the same apps and `gnome-tweaks` (as there are probably a lot of
methods setting fonts):
* User-interface text: Noto Serif Regular 10
* Document text: Noto Serif Regular 11
* Monospace text: Noto Sans Mono Regular 10
* Expired window title text: Noto Serif Bold 11
* backtranslated from *Vanhennettujen ikkunaotsikkojen teksti* and I am
a bit lost on what that means. Window doesn't respond or is in the
background?
The number behind is obviously the number and it's based on what were the
defaults before I touched them so I am hoping GNOME knows what they are
doing.
Noto should have all characters, looks good enough to my eyes, I guess Serif
makes a distinguishion between letters "I" and "l", it doesn't seem to have
a Mono variant, but the Sans is close enough.
Where reading speed is needed, `OpenDyslexic` is nice, but some applications
have trouble handling it, e.g. mpv (makes Ä and Ö and Å all Å) and Firefox
(makes 8 look like 6 and other weirdness).
Other font settings in GNOME-Tweak:
* Hinting: *a bit*
* for no particular reason
* Antialiasing: *Subpixel (for LCD-displays)*
* I have no idea where there are "standard grayscale" displays that aren't
LCD.
