Feature Request: Custom Font Setting for Output Window #1678

Hello,

First of all, thank you for building and maintaining the Database Client extension — it has been a great tool for working with MySQL inside VS Code.

One small improvement I’d love to see is the ability to customize the font used in the extension’s output/result window. Currently, the output panel uses the default VS Code UI font, which is not as readable for tabular data or SQL results.

Feature Request:

  • Add a setting such as "database-client.resultsFontFamily" that allows users to specify a custom font family (e.g., "Lucida Console, Consolas, monospace").
  • Optionally, a "database-client.resultsFontSize" setting would also be helpful for accessibility.

Why this matters:

  • Monospaced fonts make tabular data easier to read and align visually.
  • Users can match the output font with their editor/terminal font for consistency.
  • Improves accessibility and personalization.

This feature is already supported in other SQL extensions (e.g., vscode-mssql), so it would be a natural enhancement here.

Thanks again for your work on this extension!
