Why was Additional CSS option removed from Wordpress customizer?
-
Why? Is it that Vivaldi A.S. has to pay or what?
-
Since we have customized the blogging space quite a lot ourselves and make changes every now and then, custom CSS would likely break blogs after our updates.
Also, bad actors may want to use custom CSS for malicious purposes (spamming, phishing, etc.).

@jane-n Having said that, I thought of an idea. You know how VSCode/VSCodium has a GUI version and JSON/code version of settings, right? How about you guys only give the GUI version where we could type in some input boxes the exact fonts we've always wanted, the exact background colors/image (We could upload that from our devices or if it's safe, unsplash or somewhere else) we've always wanted and so on and so forth but if that's not possible, then it's okay.
Just please add some more font options like, how is there not a single monospace font (Iosevka, Mononoki Nerd Font, ShureTechMono Nerd Font, JetBrains Mono, Hurmit, Terminus)? Other cool fonts would be like Chakra Petch and some slab fonts (Mozilla's Zilla Slab and others)?
I want to make my blog my own though still it's under Vivaldi, not like that's any bad thing. But I don't know. I don't know.

I am going to support that.
For example, I want to use a font on my blog that is licensed to me by the font developer. This isn't possible. What about legal fonts?
Many of the currently licensed fonts do not support the Bulgarian alphabet (they do not have/support the Cyrillic alphabet). Can this be fixed? All the fonts used are from Google Fonts. Could you go through them again and add more to support different and more scripts?
I think adding a GUI editor that allows us to specify the font and colour of the block would benefit everyone. -

Please report bug for Affected Product "Vivaldi.net website and services" and Type of Issue "Problem".

I use the Simple theme and I can only talk about it.
=> https://zmeYpc.vivaldi.net/
I have not used the other two themes provided.The Simple theme provides 7 fonts for text and 8 fonts for headlines.
Text:
EB Garamond, Lato, Merriweather, Montserrat, Open Sans, Playfair Display and Vollkorn
Headlines:
Crimson Text, EB Garamond, Lato, Merriweather, Montserrat, Open Sans, Playfair Display and VollkornLato and Crimson Text do not support Bulgarian, my language.
I don't think reporting this will have any effect as long as all fonts provided "as is" are used by theme authors. More here:
=> https://zmeypc.vivaldi.net/wp-content/themes/01/style.css?ver=4.0.1
@DoctorG So it would be better to provide us with an editor via the blog settings, so that we can define and colour text and headline blocks.
Reporting will not change anything as the theme authors are not obliged to provide multi-language support. -

I agree.

Bad.
No good idea to provide a WordPress theme with such bad language support.
