Hi Protesilaos, I had seen the same in my setup. I recently started using Doom Emacs ( https://github.com/hlissner/doom-emacs/) and was pleasantly surprised to discover that todo and tag faces scale according to the headline in which they are. I don't know precisely how this is done, but there are some hints here, you might use it as a starting point: https://github.com/hlissner/doom-emacs/blob/develop/modules/lang/org/config.el#L146-L175 (tangentially: I am very happy with Doom Emacs. After 30+ years of handcrafting my Emacs config, I decided to give it a try and I can highly recommend it). --Diego On Sun, Apr 26, 2020 at 9:01 AM Protesilaos Stavrou wrote: > Dear all, > > I have noticed that Org faces that combine with headings do not adapt to > their context.
