Adding more fonts and font tools

I was wondering if the ST could add more fonts to the editor, specifically ones that were present in 2.0, such as:
  • Helvetica Nueue
  • Donegal One
  • Gloria Hallelujah
  • Permanent Marker
  • Mystery Quest
  • the Scratch font, especially Scratch.

I also suggest having the ability to change how the font looks, mainly in these ways:
  • Bold
  • Italic
  • Underline
  • Strikethrough/Stroke

On top of that, for the offline editor, I suggest allowing fonts that are already downloaded onto your computer

I really enjoyed using these aformentioned fonts in 2.0, and outside of Scratch, and it would be great if you could bring them back.

Support, but why stop there? Why not allow you to pick any of Google's fonts or upload your own?

here’s a workaround for bold tho; (vector editor) add the text through the text tool, then go to the normal tool, and you can add an outline, so that will make the text thicker

Yes, but that causes vector thorns, which while fixable are really annoying.

Would check if this is a dupe, but Ocular isn't working right now.

Support, though. More fonts would be nice.

I'd say this is different enough. This topic provides possible fonts and suggests allowing styling of the new and existing fonts.
