From the main GNOME menu go to, System > Preferences > Appearance, and look under the Fonts tab. Or is that not what you mean?

  • I thought it just used the appropriate unicode ranges of the font chosen there, but maybe I don't know enough about localization.

Ubuntu silently and automatically falls back to different fonts to achieve full Unicode coverage of many languages. The order of those fallbacks are defined in the FontConfig setting files under:

  • /etc/fonts/conf.d

these configuration files (which are just plain text files) contain the default preference ordering for certain scripts and Unicode ranges, depending on what fonts are actually installed.s
