Details

The user should be able to assign any font installed on their local computer to be used in the reader view.

One common request has been for a dyslexic font option, but bundling that with Firefox has licensing and size issues and allowing any font seems less limiting.

We should be able to reuse the FontBuilder form fontbuilder.js which creates the font dropdown for preferences to let users assign a local font to a preference.

Open Question: How does this interact with the serif / sans-serif picker?

  • Treat as a third option? pref("reader.font_type", "custom")
  • Just overrides the selected option? pref("reader.serif", "Times")
  • Present multiple dropdowns like in about:preferences?
