📝 Provide a description of the new feature

People with low vision can manage fonts in a couple of different ways on Windows, including by changing their "Display Resolution" (in Display Settings) and by "Making text bigger" (in Ease of Access Settings).

However, these Settings do not enable users to adjust specific font sizes such as: Title bar, Menu, Message box, Secondary title, Icon or Status bar, which Windows used to support and can be adjusted independently with 3P apps. Similarly, 3P OSs and apps enable users to select Bold fonts for these same elements. They enable users to substitute their preferred font for the system font. They also enable users to save and to import and export font profiles.

In addition to being great for accessibility, this would be a great feature for power users that want to personalize their Windows experience.

@enricogior, these are different asks. #6918 is more in things like font hinting. This is more tweak UI
