Change the headline font

[digitaltom]

Based on your feedback ("this font was cool 10 years ago"), the current headline font "Lobster Two" is a bit old fashioned.
Let's vote what would be a better match, I provide some options with screenshots here:

Lobster Two

Bree Serif:

DM Serif Dsiplay:

Playfair Display

Comfortaa

Libre Baskerville

Cinzel

[kalabiyau]

Comic Sans

Without silly jokes - DM Serif Display

Bree Serif feels welcoming, like I'm invited to have fun in a playground - and I think that that's exactly how MapForge can be used, as a map-powered playground to let go of your creativity.

Bree Serif reminds me on puzzle pieces, which goes well with crafting and creativity.
Playfair / DM Serif Display are also nice, with a more serious appearance.

That's the SUSE font with font-variant: small-caps; and not italic

Otherwise I also like Bree Serif

Maybe even with font-weight: 800;

Not really a fan of the small-caps... feels like it's screaming at me 😁

I actually like the Lobster Two font. Yes, it looks old. That is WHY I LIKE IT. NOT EVERYTHING NEEDS TO BE MODERN.

I just think that we should be able to customize the colors and fonts of the map itself.

@NukeCoderZ Regarding the font styling on the map: There are already some possibilities:

Example map: https://mapforge.org/m/1143407ef215

You can change the font with these attributes (docs); label-size, label-font, label-color, label-shadow. There's no UI for those attributes yet, they need to get set in the "Advanced" tab.
