a quick #linux tip for setting system fonts for window managers (and some DEs too).. ..make a fonts.conf file in your user directory (~/.config/fontconfig/fonts.conf) for your preferred fonts and font settings, this should match (and be in addition to) your existing gtk and qt font settings (lxappearance, qt5ct).. ..web browsers seem to ignore the gtk and qt font selection, so this helps apps like that have user-specific default fonts, etc.
here's my current config for reference:
