im trying to make some arrows in the “$$” thing. when i type it, its combined, but after i place my curser somewhere else it looks like this “->”
i tried with some different plugins, but i really don’t know.
That’s a theme setting. Try a different them or you could attempt CSS. I’m not real good with CSS but maybe someone can chime in with help on that.
It could be this:
@ariehen , Do you know if Obsidian changed the default font used in 1.5.11 since this suddenly has become an issue? I never had any issue with font ligatures before this version, but I’m frequent enough on this forum to try that when I started seeing the ligatures.
Do you think we should report it somewhere that this font change wasn’t the smartest move, if that is actually the case?
I didn’t notice it myself as I generally have custom fonts set for each viewing mode including monospace fonts.
It has come up a few times, it seems, with the default font changing on Windows.
I don’t know the details, but I believe it’s from here: https://obsidian.md/changelog/2024-03-13-desktop-v1.5.11/
- Update monospace system font stack.
@ariehen in 1.5.11 there is this update
- Add system default font options for Windows and Linux.
Obsidian 1.5.11 Desktop (Public) - Obsidian
I think that was causing issues for people with fonts changing in the latest update.

i tried this font but that isn’t helping sadly
Are you sure it isn’t your theme? Have you tried on the default theme or a different theme?
In math blocks, (the “$$” thing), you should include arrows using latex code, i.e. \rightarrow. What also works is to insert dedicated unicode characters, e.g. Rightwards arrow “→” (U 2192).
ah thank you. i didnt even know that existed
