Bug Description

Some, if not all, snap apps use wrong interface fonts when running under wayland. They seem to use the default gnome font instead of ubuntu font.

I see this problem in snap-store, inkscape, and telegram at least. They all use the ubuntu font under X11.

See attached screenshot of snap-store as an example.

Kind of like low-res font rendering in snap apps
