Hi!

I’m having a hard time using Penpot. TBH, I’m not a fan of the UI font Penpot is using, as I found it too wide.

Would it be possible to add a Setting to let us use the default OS font instead?

At the same time, it could then be one less component to load when it is activated.

Thanks! 🙂

I was just about to post this:

Hi,

I love the latest updates, but wishing if there was a way to change the default font for the UI — Worksans — to the sysmtem-ui.

But, saw your post, and pasting it here since it’s about the same subject. Also, seeing your post is from Jun 2023, I think it’s not gonna happen 🙂
