Description

I don't mind the font that YakYak uses, but it would be really nice to be able to explicitly choose any desired font that's installed on the system for conversations and the conversations sidebar.

Research direction
Start by examining the existing settings UI in `src/settings.coffee` and the main UI components for conversations and sidebar. Look for any font related CSS or configuration options. Determine how settings are persisted and loaded. Consider adding a font selection dropdown or input field in the settings panel, and apply the chosen font to the relevant UI elements. Check for any existing issues or PRs that discuss font customization to avoid duplication.
