Pertaining to the screenshot from my Obsidian page:
- macOS Version: 13.7.5 (22H527)
- Obsidian Version: 1.8.10 (Installer 1.8.9)
I accidentally pressed multiple keyboard buttons, which caused the font size of the entire sidebar and the top tab bar to minimize.
I attempted the following troubleshooting steps, but the issue remains unresolved :
- Uninstalled and reinstalled the Obsidian application.
- Attempted adjustments using custom CSS snippets.
Anyone could advise on the correct solution and steps to restore the original font size settings?
Thank you.
First, before trying to fix this stuff, you should disable the CSS snippet you made.
- Cmd-0 (zero) to reset zoom?
- Settings → Appearance → Font size
- Settings → Appearance → Zoom level
There is also a setting “Quick font size adjustment”. I turn this off so I don’t accidentally zoom using my trackpad.
Reinstalling the app isn’t going to fix a problem if the problem is in your settings. Those are stored in your vault.

I have tried all the above methods, but they are still not working. Kindly advise if there are any additional options to resolve this.
All I can think of:
- If you open the Help Sandbox vault, does the font look normal? If the Sandbox has the same problem, then I am very confused.
- Have you tried turning off community plugins to see if it’s a plugin problem? Have you made sure to update all your community plugins?
- If you are using a community theme, have you tried switching to the default theme? Have you made sure to update all of your community themes.
- What font did you choose in Settings → Appearance → Text Font? Is it one that exists on your system?
If none of that helps, you could try this:
- Make a backup copy of your entire vault to be safe.
- Close Obsidian
- Navigate to your hidden settings folder YourVault/.obsidian
- Delete appearance.json. This will reset your appearance preferences. Open Obsidian and see if that fixed anything.
