Add options to change font size and style

[sambouwer]

We indeed need more flexibility regarding styling compared to what we have right now (fixed font sizes, bold, italic, strikethrough, font and highlight color). A request with a limited scope (font size and fontface) was created in the past:

Add options to change font size and style

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. On desktop, it’s more of a preference. On Android, it’s frustrating having that small font size and not be able to change it. Describe the solution you’d like Like notion, i’d like to have the option to change to different font types like “mono” and “serif”. Also to have the option to change the font sizes. Describe alternatives you’ve considered No alternatives considered. Additional context [image]

I think your suggestion to allow the fonts to be more configurable is good, but I feel the implementation could be right in the quick menu that you mention in the last part of your message. The menu is activated by selecting the text you want to format:

This menu and the menu that can be activated by clicking on the ellipsis button at the far left of a line should be aligned to have the same (order of) options available as the quick menu. Of course, the ellipsis menu has and will always have more options because it acts on the whole line (object) instead of a subpart of the object (like a single word).

The quick menu should of course not be too cluttered and become a complex thing on its own. I think the following should be(come) part of the quick menu by borrowing some parts of a text editor like MS Word:

• Font
  • Font (typeface)
  • Font size
• Font styling
  • Font color
  • Highlight color
  • Font emphasis (bold, italics, underline, strikethrough)
  • Outline (left, right, center, justify)
• Style (predefined combinations of all of the font options)
  • Maybe a visually different menu option could be added at the top or bottom of the list of styles to allow you to configure those. I think it would not hurt to add this option to the Settings as well. I would suggest a settings category “personalization” where options like these (and for example localization) can be set.
    

I don’t think I would personally use the options for a (numbered) list MS Word provides in their quick access toolbar as I think I would prefer to use “/” on my keyboard to create checkboxes, or use “*” or “1.” to start a list like you would do with Markdown markup.

In addition, I would like to reference a feature request that would further improve the options to style and format your texts as an addition to the improvement of inline editing:

Custom CSS

https://community.anytype.io/t/-/1091 This one together with the one lynxlove mentioned could all work via css as well. For regular users just have a nice UI to change font height and font style and in the background change the CSS. And the power user does have access to all the CSS settings.
