What I’m trying to do
I’m trying to set a custom font for my rendered markdown file. The custom font is installed on the system and other programs can see and use it.
Things I have tried
I tried running Obsidian-1.8.10.AppImage and then going to Gear Icon / Appearance / Monospace Font, but it doesn’t seem like my system fonts are detected. I do see that Obsidian ships with some fonts. For example, I’m sure I don’t have Helvetica Neue installed on my system, but I see it in Obsidian.
Other details
Neither the appimage nor the Flatpak version of Obsidian 1.8.10 can see my system fonts.
$ gnome-shell --version
GNOME Shell 48.1
$ uname -a
Linux starbook 6.14.6-arch1-1 #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Fri, 09 May 2025 17:36:18 +0000 x86_64 GNU/Linux
