Fonts no longer working?

yes please, this seems to happen after every single update and then randomly fixes itself which is curious

Hello @Kawaun_Harvey, Thank you for getting in touch. I have created a ticket for you with the number #1039348. Please update the ticket with your current information so our support team can assist you further.

Hi there. I am having the same problem. I don’t see any of the fonts on my MAC in Figma. I searched various other fonts that are in my font book and nothing shows in my Figma. Can anyone assist?

this image shows the folder to move fonts to as i can only post one image at a time.

Hello, iv found the problem, Figma is looking for fonts under library/fonts but fonts are installed under system/library/fonts when you install them normally through the default fontbook. so you need to move your fonts to library/fonts iv added some images for reference. you need to clear cache on Figma after moving your fonts @Gayani_S perhaps Figma can look at both folders instead of the one for fonts as this affects the font installer as well for local font access

Hello @jabu_hlungwani, I appreciate your help and insightful input!

Hi!

For me I found a fix for MacOS in installing fonts globally (not just for one user). After I did that, Figma recognized those reinstalled fonts.

THANK YOU ​@SirPauls this has been plaguing me every time I open my laptop.

For others: installing fonts globally for all users by drag a copy of your OTF or TTF font file into the Macintosh HD / Library / Fonts folder, then restart Figma. This fixed my issue instantly, Figma now recognizes the fonts!

Hey y’all.
I think I have finally resolved the missing FIGMA Desktop app “fonts installed by you” issue for myself (Windows 11 OS).
At least for today. Tomorrow may be a different story.

MY CRUCIAL DISCOVERY: I use a 3rd party font management tool (Fontbase). Any fonts I activate within Fontbase work, but this does not trigger a “repoll of installed fonts” within the FIGMA desktop app.

Note: before I did the following, I only had 7 fonts listed under “installed by you”. This was a serious underestimate, since I actually have 482 font families installed. 

If you also seem to be missing installed fonts, try the following steps:

1. 1.install a single new font into your base OS fonts folder (eg. C:\Windows\Fonts)
       NOTE: the new font needs to be completely new and not part of any current font set).

2. Reload the Figma design tab
3. Highlight some text in FIGMA and check the “fonts installed by you” tab
   For me, my list was instantly updated to 482 fonts

Hope this may help …
I did NOT uninstall/reinstall any part of the FIGMA software.

The above solution does not solve the issue re: Adobe cloud fonts, which is another thread

this ​​​​​​did it for me too. 2 users on one computer, fonts installed for one user but not globally. once I changed the default install location to be global, figma picked them up
