Figma uninstalls font

Since one week I always have to reinstall a font which I am using. If I don’t install it, figma says that font is missing. In others applications the font stays, so it is correctly installed.

Does someone know why and how i can fix that?

Thanks!

Hey @Daniel112,

Sorry to hear this is happening!

Can you please confirm if you’re using a Windows or Mac device? Is this happening both in browser and using the desktop app? What other troubleshooting steps have you tried so far?

To clear the desktop app cache on Windows:

  1. Close the Figma desktop app
  2. Open the Start menu, and paste in this, followed by enter: %APPDATA%\Figma
  3. In the window that opens, delete the Desktop and DesktopProfile folders if they exist
  4. Launch the desktop app again
