Hi @charlie!
Pro’s Font Manager is an excellent tool, yet there’s a simple enhancement that could make it even better: the inclusion of System UI fonts. (This is not the same as the already listed system fonts).
Currently, when selecting Google fonts, Pro’s Font Manager lists Roboto
, which is an UI system font. However, Roboto
is only a default system font for Android devices. For other operating systems, like MacOS and iOS, Roboto
is an external font, as their native system font is San Francisco
. Similarly, Windows uses Segoe UI
as its system font, etc.
To leverage the aesthetic and performance benefits of native fonts across different operating systems, I suggest implementing the following CSS property:
font-family: system-ui, sans-serif;
This approach is just like using traditional system fonts like Arial
, but with the added benefit of using the best-looking font specific to each operating system.
In practice, this would mean simply listing System UI
among the other system fonts.
Thanks!
