Change to the app's font

[Xori71]

Describe your suggested feature

Have you ever thought of making the app's font static, as in not changing based on the font used for the System?

For example, you could use a Material Design compliant font, like Google Sans Text.

@Xori71, why would this be desirable? It would be hideous for anyone with accessibility needs, and unexpectedly inconsistent for anyone else. If applications don't adhere to system preferences, why do those preferences exist...?

Fair point, but sometimes it is desirable for an app to has its own design language, irrespective of user choice.

@Xori71, when and why? That's totally unsubstantiated, especially considering the detriment to accessibility.

Do Google apps conform to your font choices? Do most websites?

Mihon and its forks are going for a Material Design look, and Material Design has guidelines that are to be followed in order to achieve a complete look.

My post wasn’t a demand. It was a suggestion from a design standpoint. It makes sense for J2K to use a font that conforms to Material Design guidelines.

Yes, @Xori71, every website adheres to https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/change-fonts-and-colors-websites-use#w_custom-fonts (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32875519 explains this feature well) and every local application that I've utilized conforms to what https://invent.kde.org/plasma/plasma-desktop/-/blob/e5e5f5ed51aadfac99bfbdf3d2db5be16a12443b/kcms/fonts/fontssettings.kcfg#L7-82 defines. What you describe is why so many must ask questions like https://www.reddit.com/r/GooglePixel/comments/6de01x/change_system_font_without_rooting/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button.

Additionally, https://m3.material.io/styles/typography/fonts#dbd29949-f164-4065-bb36-49a765fbfe3d specifically states that the default system font is M3+You-conformant (else it would not be listed in the Material 3 subdomain).

Regardless, if this were to be implemented, perhaps we could at least set https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/View#attr_android:importantForAccessibility (per https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/ui/accessibility/principles#decorative) if that would make any difference.
