Description

Describe the solution you'd like

  • An option in the preferences that allows to change the font used in the Editor (Query Tool).
  • And an option that allows to change the font in the user interface, apart from the editor.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Possiblity to Choose a font from:

  1. Google Fonts
  2. OR (select from the ones installed on the system)
  3. OR (Choose a font file on the system)

Additional context
This is a relevant feature that most text editors and sofwares have.
This feature can benefit a lot of people,
For example, a person with Dyslexia could use the dislexia font for the menus, or someone who prefers "Cascadia Mono" or "Courier New" to write SQL queries or code.
