Harry,

There are settings for changing the Preview's default font (PVFAMILY / PVSIZE), but they won't help
in the case of the manual (or the command reference) because the typeface and size are hard-coded in
the Typst source, so you'll have to edit the file manually. For the manual, open `manual.typ` and
search for the first instance of 'font'; it will bring you to a line that reads:

#set text(font: "New Computer Modern", size: 11pt)

By way of contrast with the original, here is how the preview looks with `font:
"Elephant", size: 14pt`:

Hope this helps.
