Dear Maintainer,

In EndlessOS [1] we're using Lato font as default for the desktop and
upgrading some flatpak packages to org.gnome.Platform//3.36 we've
detected that there's a font displacement comparing with the previous
versions.

You can find a bug report on gnome [2] about this, but doing more
testing I've detected that the problem is the font.

I've tested this on ubuntu also and the problem is there too with the
Lato font.

Using the latest upstream Lato TTF solves the problem so I've created a
MR to update this package to the latest version [3].
