No, Chatterbox is a display block — there are no interactive chat features.
- Can I customize the fonts and colors?

At launch, these features aren’t in Chatterbox — hopefully in the next few months!

Yes. Yes it would. Those kind of features are on the on the roadmap!
Some of these features will rely on new features in the Gutenberg project. Once those are out in the wild, Chatterbox will be getting some love.
