Add local font selection for supported browsers and desktop #1340
Description
Chromium browsers recently got the ability to browse local fonts. We should provide a way to choose between the Google Fonts list and local fonts, but gray that out with an explanation telling the user to use a Chromium browser for unsupported browsers.

Sure @AmreetKumarkhuntia, tomorrow I can respond with a few tips outlining how to approach this. But if you're new to the code, I also recommend joining our code contributors introductory workshop on the Discord server at 17:00 GMT so you can get a feel for the code base as a whole, and the process of contributing.
