On the web version, I want to change font settings because some of the fonts in my file are missing.




  • When I try to open font settings nothing appears

  • When I try to change the font locally I can’t change any of the fonts

  • I can’t change the font of the style

  • I don’t see the missing style icon at the top toolbar. I only see it when hovering on the text, but I can’t click it.

  • And, most badly, I can’t edit or create new texts in that file or any other file (even those who don’t use these fonts)




The problem started when I copied a Figma community file to one of my projects.

I’m a team owner, so I’ve got permissions to all files and libraries.

BTW It’s a Google font, so I’m not sure why the font is not working ont the first place.


Any ideas?

Thanks

Hi @Rumya_Karo,


Hmm it looks odd! If you’re using Figma in the browser, make sure you’ve installed the Font Service and that it’s running. You can refresh your tab or restart the Figma desktop app or browser to force an update in Figma.


We recommend you to check our article Manage conflicting fonts with some workarounds.

Thank you!

Hi - I have a similar problem. I accidentally hit the “replace font” with the wrong font. And now I cannot revert it back even though I downloaded the right fonts for the Library I am supposed to use the fonts from … This is what I see in the font details:

I am unable to change it (grayed out). what can I do to change it/revert the font replacement?

Hey Barbara,

Can you try to use the file’s version history (here is our guide) to revert back to a previous version. From what you have described, I think this will likely trigger the warning to Manage Missing Fonts again as it sounds like you might have a different version of the font installed than is used on that file.


If this still doesn’t help , please reach out to the support here. Thank you
