Hi,

I first noticed that issue in regular gnomish Ubuntu 23.04 but unfortunately it appears the same in Budgie 23.04.

In Budgie Desktop Settings, try to set _Ubuntu **Condensed** _ font for title, interface and so on.  
It won’t be applied - you’ll end with a regular Ubuntu font, not the condensed one.

There may have some app’s where it’s applied ( gimp maybe because it’s older gtk ? )

Here ↑ I have added budgie-desktop as affected but maybe it’s not the best way to do ?
