Page Typography

Set a separate font and text size for each Markdown note in Obsidian. All menu items and dialogs are in English.

Installation

1. Download and extract the installation archive. page-typography-1.0.0.zip
2. Move the extracted page-typography folder into your vault's .obsidian/plugins/ folder. Create the plugins folder if needed.
3. Restart Obsidian.
4. Go to Settings → Community plugins and enable Page Typography. If Restricted mode is active, allow community plugins first.

Your vault should have this folder structure.

Your vault/
  .obsidian/
    plugins/
      page-typography/
        main.js
        manifest.json
        styles.css

Usage

Right-click the note's text, its tab, or its name in File explorer.

• Page font… — Choose a font from the list or type the name of an installed font. Each font name appears in its own typeface when available.
• Page font size… — Pick a preset or enter a size from 8 to 96 px. Preview the result and click Apply.
• Reset page typography — Restore the vault's default font and size for this note.

Choose Use vault default in either picker to reset that setting independently. These commands are also available in the command palette.

Behavior

• Works in Reading view, Live Preview, and Source mode. Two notes open side by side can have different typography.
• Applies to the whole note, not only selected text. Heading hierarchy and code fonts retain their normal roles.
• Uses fonts already installed on the device; it does not download fonts. The list includes common fonts, which may not all be installed. An unavailable font falls back to a device font. Custom font names should identify a single family, such as JetBrains Mono.
• Choices are stored by note path in .obsidian/plugins/page-typography/data.json. The Markdown note content is not changed.
• Remembers settings after restarting Obsidian. Renaming or moving a note or folder inside Obsidian carries the settings with it. Renames made while Obsidian is closed cannot be tracked.
• In Reading view, right-click ordinary note text or blank space. Links, images, and embedded notes keep Obsidian's own menus; use the note tab or File explorer menu for those cases.
• Custom themes or snippets that force their own font styles can interfere. Fonts must be installed separately on each device. To sync these preferences, include this plugin's data.json in your sync setup.
• Disabling the plugin restores the normal view without deleting saved choices.

Development

Requires Node.js 22.6+ and pnpm or npm.

pnpm install
pnpm build
pnpm test
pnpm package

main.js is the bundled Obsidian plugin. Only main.js, manifest.json, and styles.css are required at runtime. pnpm package creates an installation ZIP in dist/.

Built using the official Obsidian plugin API and context menu hooks.

Verified on Windows with Obsidian 1.15.0: 6 data-model tests and 19 checks in an isolated Obsidian vault, including native editor/File explorer menus, Reading view, Live Preview, Source mode, split panes, persistence, renaming, and reset. Mobile and third-party themes have not been tested.
