On Gnome user interface, the Nokia Sans Wide is off-centered. Especially visible in buttons and list. I wonder if there is a way to adjust it.

There is: use a FontForge script to modify the font.

Give Lato a try. I've been using it as the default UI font / sans-serif in Xfce for years and it worked well for me.
