[poll] I am considering to change the default font set, replacing the least used one and introducing a new one for readability (self.raccoonforlemmyapp)

I would like to introduce a new font in the next version, with a particular focus on readability, in order to make the app easier to use.

My choice would be the Atkinson hyperreadable font by the Braille institute, which I personally use in other apps too because it gives my eyes some relief.

However, the APK size of the app increases with every new resource, so instead of just adding a new font I would like to replace the least used of the current ones.

Answer in comments to tell me what you would like to be removed. Thanks as always and #livefasteattrash

This is a good font.

I have never used the Charis SIL font.

Thanks! I have replaced it with Atkinson Hyperlegible, it will be available in the next release which will take place very soon btw.

If you don't have Albert Sans, I would love to see it. I use it on my desktop and it's amazing.

I am trying it out and it's really cool! Also, please remember that you can configure Raccoon to use your system font for both UI and contents.

My 2 cents, I would remove one of these:

Poppins
Charis SIL

I'd remove Nano Sans or Charis and add Atkinson hyperreadable

I would remove Charis SIL too
