Originally assigned to: @a-wallen on GitHub.

Description

To make a note aesthetic, you need to use different fonts. And I think that sometimes, the built-in app flowy font looks ugly in some cases, if only I could use a better font... In notion, you are given 3 different font options, to make app flowy even better, you add an option to add your own fonts to the mix 😄.

Impact

It will help users create better notes, and also it will make app flowy more on par with Notion.

Additional Context

google fonts since they are also open source, and they have good variety.

there is a package called google fonts for flutter that can give access to all google fonts via internet. but because appflowy is supposed to be offline, you can have a fallback font based on the type of font it is {display, sans-serif, serif ...}. or you could do it like notion and have 3 options [sans-serif, serif and mono]. I am not an expert on programming in flutter, but this might not be viable because the fonts are stored in a yaml file, accessed thru compilation.

@annieappflowy since I was working on dynamic themes, I'd be happy to look at this.
