OneUI 7: Is the "Default" font still half-baked?

[waqqas31]

When I use any other font, including built-in fonts like SamsungOne, every aspect of the UI is themed properly, except in apps that explicitly use their own fonts (like Nine Email client, GMail, Google Messages, etc).

However, when I apply the new "Default" font (since they released it in OneUI 6), the Default font is replaced by Roboto in some obvious places... for example:

1. The phone dialer screen (but not the Phone Recents screen)

2. WhatsApp

3. The "Control Center" (Quick Toggles?) drop-down menu.

4. The Clock & Date on the Notifications screen

5. The Battery-level pill in the top-right corner

6. Samsung OneHandOperation+ Mini Task Switcher

7. Microsoft To-Do (app + widget)

8. Google Calendar (widget)

And I could probably go on and on...

What I would like to know from the community is if this is happening to anyone else or is it just me?

P.S. How can I tell the difference? Some characters, like the number "2" is a dead give-away on which font is or isn't being used...

Oh wow, you are right. Same on mine. I like the Default font so I haven't changed it, but I confirm what you mention above, and when I use one of my downloaded fonds (like Eggtart, for example), it's like you say - all aspects are themed with Eggtart vs. with the Default, which is not all of the UI.

I'm thinking it's a symptom (partially, at least) of installing custom fonts. My son's S21 does not have any additional fonts apart from what is installed with OneUI 6.1 and his theming on "Default" is applied correctly to the Phone Dialer. But, it is not applied to WhatsApp.
