First read the warning at the bottom, ignore at your peril and then go to your Ableton Live 10 resources folder In Windows that's probably at
C:\ProgramData\Ableton\Live 10 Suite\Resources\Fonts

1. Close Live 10
2. zip up the fonts you find there title and put them in an archive and save it in two places.
3. Now go find an OTF font you like. Something quite bold I's suggest, because Ableton have gone for a more slender look which suits hires screens but falls between the pixels on older screens.
4. Go an find an Otf which you'd like to try. Personally I enjoyed AdobeFanHeitiStd-Bold which found its way into my Font library from some kind of PDF or Photoshop install I guess. Anyway pick a font, let's use the example of "comic-sans.otf"
5. Take that "comic-sans.otf" font and copy it into your Ableton\Live 10 Suite\Resources\Fonts folder
6. now, with the Ableton fonts all safely backed up ... delete the 3 named "AbletonSans" fonts.
7. rename "comic-sans.otf" (or whatever you chose) to AbletonSansBold-Regular.otf,
8. copy that and rename it to AbletonSansLight-Regular.otf
9. copy that and rename it to AbletonSansMedium-Regular.otf
10. Start Live 10

You should now see that the Interface is lovingly rendered in "comic-sans.otf"
The screaming noise you hear is Ableton's design team in Berlin shouting at their 4k monitors.

When Live10 updates it is possible that these application fonts will be overwritten, so if you are happy with your font choice and combination then save your modified \fonts folder as a zip somewhere outside of Live's folder tree. that way you can re-install it in future.
