I can't change the font to Iosevka

Steps to reproduce

1. Try changing the font from the settings
2. It doesn’t show up even if you type Iosevka.

Did you follow the troubleshooting guide? [Y/N]

Expected result

Iosevka appears as a font candidate and can be added to the fonts you can use.

Actual result

Iosevka doesn’t appear in the font selection candidates.

Environment

I don’t know how to output debug information. Even if I search for “show debug info” in the command palette, nothing comes up.

Instead of using or looking at the drop down font suggestion list, what happens if you type in exactly Iosevka and click Add?

If the Settings interface is not working for you, you can try a CSS snippet to set the fonts manually for the time being. e.g. body { --font-interface-override: 'DejaVu Sans'; --font-text-override: 'EB Garamond SemiBold'; --font-monospace-override: 'Fira Code'; } Oh, I see you’ve already edited the .obsidian\appearance.json file manually. That or typing in the exact font name in the Settings UI and hitting Add is also an option.

At first I couldn’t get the font to work even after doing it, but after restarting my device I was able to use Iosevka!
Thanks for the advice.
