Everything is rendered in Ubuntu-L.ttf, which is very hard to read. On 16.04 I could overcome that by copying my own fonts over the default ones in /usr/share/fonts/truetype/ubuntu-font-family/*.ttf, but that doesn't work anymore on 20.04.
Is there any way to make this work still or at least find a way to use Ubuntu-R or Ubuntu-M instead of the hard-to-read Ubuntu-L? -

How does it not work on 20.04? What goes wrong?

What goes wrong is that no matter what font I copy over, like on 16.04, after rebooting the font remains Ubuntu-L on 20.04.

@Vistaus so maybe you are copying it to the wrong location?

I'm copying them to /usr/share/fonts/truetype/ubuntu-font-family/, overwriting the existing files, same as I did on 16.04. So i.e. Verdana.ttf to /usr/share/fonts/truetype/ubuntu-font-family/Ubuntu-L.ttf and /usr/share/fonts/truetype/ubuntu-font-family/Ubuntu-R.ttf - VerdanaBold.ttf to /usr/share/fonts/truetype/ubuntu-font-family/Ubuntu-B.ttf, etc.

And are you saying that the change has no effect at all? Or that the effect is reverted after a reboot?
What device are you running? And is this the same device you ran 16.04 on, but just updated, or is it a different device?

My device is a Fxtec Pro1 X with 20.04. I finally received it the other day. My 16.04 device is a Xiaomi Redmi 9, so not the same device.
