Changelog Dialog Font

#1

I’ve noticed that the Changelog page, on macOS, is using Helvatica. Now the the UI is adopting the macOS system font, it would be nice to use the San Francisco in the changelog page too. I’m not sure if Sublime Text UI is using the system font on other platforms too or not, but if the Changelog page is some sort of HTML, the the solution presented here would be nice.

PS. This is exactly how Github is implemented it.

We have our own HTML engine and our own font selection engine, so it isn’t exactly the same as Chrome/Safari.

I did consider updating the Changelog font stack after we added support for the system font, but I’ve been busy with other changes.

Are you sitting there looking onto the changelog for hours? I honestly don’t care about the font it uses at all as this dialog box is dismissed afters some secs of reading and than never shows up again until next update, when it pops up again.

Well I always find it a bit cheap and crummy looking. In a way I would prefer it to just dump some text in a sublime document a la package control.
