So happy you’re thinking of adding this! Ideally, I would love to just be able to choose my preferred font, font size and line spacing for each of the styles available (paragraph, heading 1 - 4). Doesn’t have to be in the toolbar while in the manuscript, but a spot in the settings where I can choose from even a small list of fonts (both serif & sans serif, and for further accessibility maybe something dyslexic friendly if you have the option), font & line sizes would be fantastic.
I understand that might be a bit of a big ask, so for a quicker, maybe temporary fix I honestly think simply having the ability to switch just the paragraph font to a sans serif (literally just the one currently being used by the outline!) would already make a huge difference for the readability. For some reason, staring at serif fonts for a long time makes my brain hurt, lol. The font size for the manuscript is also a bit large in my opinion, but that’s something that can be fixed by adjusting the zoom in my browser, although that does make the outline font really small in comparison.
Like I said on TikTok, my personal vendetta against the current serif manuscript font in FDP has been the only reason Scrivener still has a hold on me lol, so super excited to see this as a possible improvement!
