[BUG]: The size of the font of "Internal message browser" cannot be changed

[sakkamade]

Brief description of the issue.

While I can set the font itself, I cannot change its size and style unlike the "Feed list font" and "Message list font," where I can customise it all and well.

How to reproduce the bug?

1. Settings -> Feeds & Messages -> Internal message browser font
2. Change the style (Italic, Bold) or the size
3. No variation have befallen the browser

What was the expected result?

Being able to change the size and style of the font in internal browser.

What actually happened?

Unable to change aforementioned positions.

@sakkamade To summarize:

1. You can change font family, for example to "Arial".
2. You cannot change for variant, for example from "Regular" to "Bold".
3. You cannot change font size.

There are technical limitations in WebEngine component (Chromium-like displayer of HTML/CSS/JS websites) which do not allow to implement 2, sadly. You can indeed change the font itself, but not its variants and there is nothing I can do.

As for problem 3 - shortly, you can use CTRL + LMBT (left mouse button) to zoom in/out, just like in regular web browsers and RSS Guard remembers the setting persistently. Long story - problem is that some feeds provide entries which themselves include CSS to style the overall look of the entry/article/message which often hardcodes font style and sizes etc. This CSS discrupts default font size/type/family settings.

I will try to force font size set in app setting more aggresivelly, but it will never be perfect. Just try the above zooming keyboard shortcut, it may work well enough for you and let me know.

It is not so reliable, is it. Too arbitrary...
Would be better to have Ctrl++, Ctrl+-, and Ctrl+0 instead.

EDIT: Never mind, it's already present... (except for Ctrl+0).

@sakkamade I right now pushed new code, possibly fixing problem 2.

Wait for development build and let me know if the fix works. Here it works beautifully.

The Ctrl+0 (or similar) to restore the zoom will be still great to see.

I could not care less about changing the style, actually.
