Description

Hello,

I noticed that there is no way to change to a custom font for reader mode. I have customized versions for Sans, Serif and Monospace that help with my ADHD.

Is there a chance we could see this implemented in the near future?

Thanks in advance, concernedcitizen2

Research direction
Investigate Brave's reader mode implementation, typically under `brave/components/reader mode/`. Look for existing font settings and UI components. Implement a new option to select custom fonts for Sans, Serif, and Monospace. Follow existing patterns for storing user preferences and consult any comments on the issue for further details.
