This question may or may not have anything to do with MX, since I'm not sure why the problem occurred. I installed the accumulated system upgrades, and one of them changed my usual MX font (whatever it's called--I had little reason to check, since it never changed) to...screenshot attached. I don't like the new font. What application do I have to run to change it back? I don't know, I haven't tried playing with system fonts in living memory.
(P.S. No, I'm not in a liveCD environment, ref. the icon in the screenshot. I just have one in the drive.)

The default font we use is Noto Sans at 10.5 pts.
Re: system upgrades changed my fonts without my approval
The only font related update I can see in the last month was to fontconfig and it's associated packages libfontconfig1 & fontconfig-config.
This should not have made a major difference in your fonts - but you can roll back to the debian version using:If that fixes your issue then you should pin those packages so they don't update.
