Comment:

 Discussed this ticket during last week's accessibility bug-scrub
 [https://wordpress.slack.com/archives/accessibility/p1566571192281900 on
 Slack] (requires registration).

 The prevalent opinion in the accessibility team is that, while the ability
 to customize the font type and some advanced font metrics would help
 general readability and specific reading impairments like dyslexia, this
 feature shouldn't be in core and sounds more like plugin or theme
 territory.

 It was also noted that there are already plugins that provide the ability
 to choose Google fonts in the customizer and customize other font
 features.

 Maybe it would be nice to consider this feature for a bundled theme (maybe
 Twenty Twenty?) but it doesn't appear to be a responsibility of WordPress
 ''core'' accessibility. Removing the accessibility focus, will leave the
 final word to the Bundled Theme team :)
