I am designing a card game and have created a custom color bitmap font using the game’s icons and symbols. When I try to use the font in Figma, a blank space appears rather than text/symbols. My goal is to quickly find + replace text with symbols. Is this supported / is anyone aware of a smart workaround?

Hey @Matthew31, sorry to hear you’re having trouble using your custom font!

What OS are your using? Are you using Figma on the browser or the desktop app?

Thank you for the response! I’m using desktop.

You’re welcome!

When did you add your custom color bitmap font?

When you add a new font, you won’t see those changes in Figma immediately. So if you haven’t reloaded recently, you’ll need to quit and restart the desktop app, before being able to see your font correctly.
