Allow people to change the font

Hook up to Typekit, Google fonts, or similar libraries and allow people to pick a typeface.

Closing for now, there’s probably a better place to do this.

Why I’m back and forth on this issue, mostly leaning towards not having it:

Modular Scale should be used as a ruler. It is designed as something that can help you typeset, but it is not intended for you to typeset within it. The aim here is to be the best modular scale calculator, not the best typesetting tool. The text exists as an imperfect illustration of what text might look like with this scale, but it is not intended to be representational of your type system in any way.

That said, I can understand why you might want to see the font within the context of choosing your modular scale. The proportions within the font may have an effect on the scale you choose. But so does the spacing between your lines.

Every time I start to go down this road, I feel like this feature would be better suited for another tool.
