Hi.
In my case, using the latest version, the posts became less readable, presented with thinner and grayer letters. I suppose this is because (of a switch to?) the Roboto font.
The current publications' presentation is much less readable than it was, to my eyes.
Using the developer tools, I can force font-family:Arial , but it is not convenient at all.

So, please consider at least giving the user the Arial font option.

Thank you for this great software!

Did 6.1.3 work with Arial font?

I am not totally sure if it was v6.1.3, but it was a MS Store signed version, recent enough - and it did not have font problems. I suppose it defaulted to Arial, and it worked fined.
v6.1.4, in my system, defaults to the Robot font which is rendering thin and gray, not crisp and black. If I force Arial from the developer tools, the reading experience improves greatly.

I've checked 6.1.3 and 6.1.2, but both are Roboto font. I don't know when Arial font has been changed.

Any chance of bringing it back, at least optionally? Thank you!

First, I'm going to change the default font settings. After that, I'm going to implement a function to change fonts.
