3 Simple Ways To Add Fonts To Figma

If you’re using a Chromebook or Linux, Figma doesn’t support local fonts. If there’s a font you want to use, have your team or organization administrator install it for your whole team or organization.

Go to https://www. figma. com/downloads. Click your operating system under “Font installer. " Double-click the downloaded file to install. Reload all tabs in Figma after installing so your fonts will be available.

If you’ve installed a font that isn’t showing up in the Figma font picker, make sure it’s installed in the correct folder—that’s /Library/Fonts for macOS and C:\Windows\Fonts for Windows. If you’re trying to use an Adobe font that’s installed on your computer, you’ll need to be signed in to Creative Cloud, or have signed in within the past 30 days, to use the font. [2] X Research source If you see a missing font warning on a file—it’ll be a yellow icon with an “A” and a question mark—it’s either because an editor used a font you don’t have, or because they used a different version of the same font. Click the yellow icon to view the Missing Fonts panel and select a replacement font. Figma does not support variable font files—the types of font files that contain many font styles or families (bold, light, etc. ) in a single font file. [3] X Research source Look for the word “variable” in the font’s file name on your computer—if you see it, delete that font and replace it with the static versions of the font instead. If you’re using the web version of Figma and your local fonts aren’t showing up, click your profile photo at the top-right and select Settings. If the font service is running, you’ll see “Local fonts are enabled” near the top. [4] X Research source If you don’t see this, check your computer’s activity monitor to make sure either Figma Daemon, Figma Font Helper, or Font Service is running. If you don’t see any of these, try closing and re-opening your web browser.

Figma supports TTF and OTF fonts only—if your fonts are web fonts or don’t end in . ttf or . otf, you won’t be able to add them to your organization. If you’re not an organization admin or would just prefer to make the font available to a specific team, you can upload fonts to a team instead.

You can upload multiple fonts at a time if you’d like—just hold down the Control (PC) or Command (Mac) key as you click each font before selecting Open. You’ll be asked to confirm that your organization is legally allowed to use the selected font(s). If you’re not sure, double-check your font license.

If Figma detects that a font was already uploaded, you’ll see a warning message. Click Skip to avoid uploading the duplicate font, or choose Replace if you want to replace the existing font with this version.

You must be a team admin to upload fonts to a team. Figma supports TTF and OTF fonts only—if your fonts are web fonts or don’t end in . ttf or . otf, you won’t be able to add them to your organization.
