To know what default fonts are being used on your system, run the commands

$ fc-match sans-serif
$ fc-match serif
$ fc-match monospace

They should give you the system default sans-serif, serif and monospace fonts respectively.

To set the system defaults to Google's Noto fonts, you need to edit the fontconfig configuration files. For details see the fontconfig documentation. For a readymade config file, see this repo.

From Set system font in LXDE?:

The "Default font" combo is (mis)placed in the "Widget" tab. I really don't understand why they didn't put it in the "Font" tab.

  • Well, the OP never asked for LXDE-specific instructions. The OP wanted to change the *system default* serif, sans and mono fonts. Changing LXDE settings will not affect font selection in other applications such as Firefox, Evolution etc. –  Dec 22 '17 at 10:55
