[Feature Request] Specify fonts at diagram level (not globally)

[jfdeclercq]

Description

Sometimes I have the feedback that the text is too small on some diagrams. If I want to increase the font I can change it globally in the preferences but it impacts all views in all models... Ideally I'd like to specify fonts and size for 1 diagram.

Hi, the idea behind the global preference for the view font is that it is the default used when a font is not set for a new diagram object or connection at the application level. To change the fonts for diagram objects in a view you'll need to select them and then set the font in the Appearance tab.

This could also be achieved with a simple jArchi script:

$("view").children().each(function setFontSize(child) {
    child.fontSize = 12;
    $(child).children().each(child2 => {
        setFontSize(child2);
    });
});

I have such script for increasing and decreasing :
This for decreasing

// This script decrease the font size of the selected element
// Requires jArchi - https://www.archimatetool.com

try{
	console.log("font decreasing");
$(selection).each(function(selectedElement) {
  selectedElement.fontSize += -1;
} );
}catch {
  console.log("No element selected.");
}
console.log("finished");

Assigning it to a key and 'Voilà' decreasing the selection. Change -1 to 1 and you have an increase script

Thank you, I will test this way of working. It makes sense.
