Research direction

Start with the linked text section in the documentation and compare its structure with the iconography page cited as prior art. Document the recommended font, size, and CSS classes there; done means all three questions in the proposal are answered.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Problem

I am creating an app. And I don't really know what fonts I should use in the app.
This isn't covered anywhere in the documentation as far as I can see.

Proposal

It would be nice if the text section of the documentation talked a bit about:

  • what font should be used
  • what is the recommended size
  • are they CSS class that should be used
Prior Art (Optional)

The iconography does a good job of documenting how things should look like.
