Is there a way to use different font for applications UI? I'd like to have same fonts as on Windows (guess Segoe UI is used).

Yes, it is the same process as changing the font in Linux. Depending on the distro you are using a Google will probably yield helpful results

I'm using Ubuntu 20.04.
Can you help a bit please?
I'm a newbie in Linux with GUI, though been using it many years on servers.
I've added some ttf fonts to ~/.fonts dir and able to use those fonts inside programs, but I also want to change UI fonts.

I did some digging. After the fonts are installed you can probably add a line like gtk-font-name = "DejaVu Sans 11" (with your font name) to the ~/.profile file.

Thanks for assistance.
Unfortunately, this doesn't work for me :(
The only app I'm using with gWSL is Sublime Merge, may be it needs some different settings?

Also tried Text Editor which seems to be the default app, also no effect.

Can you post what your .profile file looks like? Or at least the end of it?
