hi @WozniakSue -- thanks for filing an idea in our GitHub repository! Can you tell us more about what you have in mind for this feature when you have a chance? The title is helpful, but more details in the body of the ticket would be great to help us understand what this would accomplish and how it might be used.

Hi Steel. I would like to see the ability to change fonts within a Theme without having to do so in CSS. This is for users who are not coding saavy, including myself. This would be similar to the way you can do so in Word, where you change the formatting of a pre-existing style by using the toolbars at the top to make choices of font, font size, spacing within paragraphs, etc. Is that enough detail? We are funding our faculty to create OER resources this quarter, so have a lot of people working on creating PressBooks. A biology professor requested this ability. She feels the existing styles are more appropriate for history, social sciences, and narrative works rather than science texts. She would like to increase font size and have blockier fonts to choose from.

Thanks!
