Comment 30 for bug 2034986

To the extent I participated in the resolution of this bug, I had standard Ubuntu in mind, where the default desktop font can be accessed like this:

gsettings get org.gnome.desktop.interface font-name

And that's the key whose value is temporarily changed when upgrading to 23.10. But on MATE that does not help, since MATE uses its own schema:

gsettings get org.mate.interface font-name

And since MATE uses the Ubuntu font by default, the issue is identical to the issue in standard Ubuntu. I think the fix in ubuntu-release-upgrader can be adjusted so it interacts with the schema which is actually in use in MATE.

But this makes me wonder if there is a need to special case other flavors besides MATE.
