I prefer to use another font instead of what is configured as default and I would like to be able to remove the Noto Sans font from the system, however it is dependent on the fonts-noto-hinted package (and it seems to me that this package is obsolete, btw) which is dependent on xubuntu-default-settings.

Is there a way to remove this font without consequently removing xubuntu-default-settings?

I'm using Xubuntu 20.04.1 LTS.

As you noted, the xubuntu-default-settings package depends on fonts-noto-hinted. I've pushed an update for the next release to move it to Recommends (and use the appropriate package).
