Is there an existing request for feature?

What feature would you like?

Why does a desktop program work with its own font and not take it from the system?

Anything else?

We do not take font from the system as it makes it very hard to design and also make things look correct for branding and aesthetic purposes.

This is a critical error. You and the user have 146% different tastes. "very hard to design" - are you kidding? there is one window. What design? You are trying to pass off the simple as complex.

@TheThomasAmdreson Session Desktop is built with electron, it is standard practice to bundle a font with the application, much like with websites. You can't just plug in a random font and expect the app to still behave as expected, you'll get layout shift and some elements might be unusable, which is why it's not something commonly supported.

I'm curious why you'd want to use a system font?

@Aerilym
If the application layout collapses due to font changes. This means that the layout of the application is bad, and you need to change the layout.

Becouse i “can change” the font from the system, you know. Are you aware that the characters of the letter il1 are easy to confuse if it is not a monospace font. and what to do with O and 0?. What if I need to know what character is in the 15th position in a line? With a regular font I'll break my eyes while I figure it out
