Allow choosing the font

As you mentioned this is rather easy to implement. Personally, as a designer I cringe before such customizations because people tend to customize things to a level where it's not a smooth user experience any more. But: I realize and know that the best fact about Linux is just that. It can be mine. The way I like it.
This setting especially is pretty dangerous in terms of legibility and interface readability.
Nevertheless it's a feature and as such I'll have it implemented in the next release. Care must be taken though to write the correct annotation in the config of the font name. This can be confusing for people not used to font management.

Being passionate about fonts and having done GFX as a hobby before, I totally get what you're saying. I've seen my fair share of Linux users' cringey UI fonts - from monospaced ones to serif fonts. Personally I favor Lato and turn off font hinting to remain true to the typeface.

But my main motivation with suggesting this is mostly just to be able to easily achieve cohesion between the desktop and SDDM if you don't use Noto Sans. The option would also help a lot because SDDM isn't very customizable itself.

As for wrong values being put in, I just tested what happens and it just defaults to Sans... ugly, but doesn't break anything that I can see.

Anyway, thanks for hearing me out :)
