   Thanks for that Mark. Much appreciated. Hope it works for the OP.   
   I install the 'gnome-tweaks' package so fonts are in there, not in   
   'Settings', but selecting system 'Liberation-regular' and   
   'Liberation-mono' DID recover SM (and some other apps) bold PLUS colour   
   highlight - even within Ubuntu's Gnome/Wayland.   
   (Also changing the 'Appearance/Styles' from 'Yaru' desktop back to   
   'Adwaita (default) recovered the more user-friendly recognisable system   
   icons and colours. Nice catch. Much appreciated. Barry.
