• Additional fonts support;
• Improved icon pack/themed icons picker by @naveenccmsd;

• Improved Settings UI with announcements section.

This release also fixes the bug where adding widgets with setup screens will crash Lawnchair.
It also includes miscellaneous bug fixes, new translations, and performance improvements.

As an added note, we would like to give a shout-out to @MrSluffy for doing the AOSP 13/14 merge to Lawnchair and reviving Lawnchair's development.
You may have known that Lawnchair development stalled into a hiatus after Patryk left and after we published 12.1 Alpha 4.
Thankfully, with them joining our team, they merged AOSP, added many new features, and fixed many issues with the app.

We’d like to give thanks to the following new contributors: @dhruvmaindola227, @Darkstar085 , @Fox2Code, @zjunior06, @AngelofVerdant, @MwMxdev.
