Improve font selection
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
It's hard to figure out how to set the font. The text field in settings expects a magic name for the font, with no guidance on where to find that name. Obvious guesses do not work.
Describe the solution you'd like
- The font choice should have a dropdown showing possible choices. It can still allow free text but at least the dropdown can help figure out what kinds of names are correct.
- The description should say
Set the editor font family. Find the font family by doing ...
- https://docs.lapce.dev/get-started/settings should explain where exactly to find the magic font name
Describe alternatives you've considered
I looked through https://docs.lapce.dev/get-started/settings and found nothing about fonts.
I searched through the issue trackers and found other people confused about the same thing:
- https://github.com/lapce/lapce/issues/1540
- https://github.com/lapce/lapce/issues/2041
- https://github.com/lapce/lapce/issues/2405
dropdown is the way to go with this, i find current version unusable
