As you can see Simplified Chinese is not well-supported now. For those who need to input Chinese in Figma/FigJam, you can use Traditional Chinese before the team taking actions.
大家真的有需要用中文的话,可以尝试用繁体中文,Figma对繁体中文的支持还是足够的。给点时间让团队去支持简体中文吧。
Thanks for flagging this issue, we hear you. It is important to us that FigJam works in different language sets, and the engineering team is looking into this issue.
1. Describe the bug/issue you’re running into?
I can’t input Chinese text, because I can’t change the font in FigJam, can you support a Default Simple Chinese font? Or give us a way to change the default font?
2. Are you able to consistently reproduce it? If so what are the steps?
Create a square, and input some Chinese word.
3. Share a screenshot, recording, console log, link to the file, etc.
4. Is the issue only happening in desktop app or a specific browser , or both?
Both.
5. What OS/version and/or browser/version are you using?
Mac OS, Mac version client.
Traditional Chinese has the same problem. 😥
As far as we know, if “apple-system-bugfix” is added to the web or desktop app font settings, some Chinese characters may not be displayed correctly.
Currently, the layers on the left side of the Figma app can be displayed normally, but the canvas in the middle cannot display the correct Chinese characters. Below is the screenshot for your reference. (when using Sketch, there is no such problem)
The following are the words that cannot be displayed correctly, maybe the Figma QA team can copy them for testing:
足夠 (means: enough)
查看 (means: check)
小妞 (means: little girl)
踩到 (means: stepped on)
Hope this information is helpful to you.
