Obsidian should follow the system font size

Feature requests

The system font size setting on iOS has no effect on Obsidian’s font size

Steps to reproduce

Adjust the font size on iOS either system wide, or using iOS’s app-specific setting for Obsidian only

Expected result

I expected font sizes to be relative to the system setting

Actual result

System setting has no effect on Obsidian—it’s is hard coded to follow Obsidian’s own setting only

Environment

iPadOS 15
Obsidian v1.0.4

I ran into the same thing. I’m constantly switching font sizes on my phone from 80% to 190% according to whether I’ve got my glasses on. Here’s a quick workaround – I stuck the following CSS in a file and put it in .obsidian/snippets:

@supports (font: -apple-system-body) {
	html {
		font: -apple-system-body !important;
	}
	
	body {
		--font-ui-medium: 100% !important;
		--font-ui-small: 85% !important;
		--font-ui-smaller: 75% !important;
		--font-adaptive-normal: 100% !important;
		--font-adaptive-small: 85% !important;
		--font-adaptive-smaller: 75% !important;
		--font-adaptive-smallest: 65% !important;
		font-size: 100% !important;
	}
}
