[Bug]: Changing font causes visual distortion; more noticeable than what used to happen on the base DP about appsmith HOT 7 OPEN

@ramsaptami Moved task to new issues list because it's low priority and we'll postpone it for a while.

Seems like we're propagating changes to tokens in two steps rather than applying them everywhere at once?
@KelvinOm @riodeuno @jsartisan @marks0351 anything that we could do about it?

I think the visual distortion is expected no? 🤔 Since different fonts have different character widths which is causing the width of widget change on font change. I am not sure what is the expectation here? @ichik @ramsaptami

@jsartisan there's 2 parts to the video, first bit shows behaviour on the widget selection DP & second half on the previous version of the base DP - you'll notice the transition is smoother on the latter.

@jsartisan it's about two reflows that happen. If you watch the video closely you can see that adjustments happens in two steps after typeface change.

@jsartisan please add estimates if we're working on this; we can move this to the backlog if this isn't being picked up right now too
