A font called "System Font" within Figma

Hi ​@Frederic_Fornini, 

Totally understand how this could be confusing.
I did a quick test on my end — when filtering fonts by “Google Fonts” or “Installed by you,” “System Font” didn’t show up in either category.

I also checked internally, and it turns out the appearance of “System Font” in Figma is actually a long-standing bug. I’ve added your post to our existing report to help prioritize the issue.

In this case, “System Font” refers to San Francisco, which is a font created by Apple and used across their devices and systems.

For now, we recommend downloading and using the San Francisco font directly as an alternative: Fonts – Apple Developer

Thanks for bringing this up!

​@Junko3, thank you for your kind reply.
My belief is that it depends. For me the font called “system font” is a variable font.

A quick example here.
It’s not in the list of fonts installed by me,
I’ve made a thorough search. 
It’s too bad cause I would love to use it for a specific project i’m working on.

Regards
