I see. Currently, this web UI heavily relies on Material UI, which says that "it was designed with the Roboto font in mind".
To avoid any style breakage, I'd prefer to stick with the Roboto font.

As alternative, I can see supporting other fonts as user settings :)

Hi,

That's awesome (and really clear) idea! Yes, it would be nice to have on Settings.
I tried most of Google Fonts (a lot) on my projects and recommend this fonts:

Inter

Source Sans Pro

Arimo

And, of course, Open Sans, because he is a new king of free fonts 😉

btw, what do you use to take these screenshots? it looks really nice.

Yes, why not. Only I would also load different queues to make the graphs more juicy.
