Description

Currently the preferences allow for control of the editor's font (face and size), but it does not allow for any control of the font size on the pane for rendered text.

It would be nice to be able to scale the text, at the very least.

Research direction

Start by locating the preferences implementation and the pane that renders Markdown text, then compare how the existing editor font face and size controls are wired. Done means the rendered-text pane has a user-controllable text scale through preferences, with the behavior verified in the macOS app.
