My fonts are not showing on Figma, I tried opening in icognito, restarting my laptop, force quitting, literally anything but the fonts are still not working. Is there any way around this? I am not being able to use Figma anymore because of this problem.

I have noticed that design mode is a paid feature of Figma slides. Is this a final decision? I really like using Figma and its amazing features to create stunning slides for my presentations. Taking design mode away feels so limiting. Also, is this just limited to slides, or is this change also coming to the normal Figma design mode?

Is it possible to use Figma.ui.resize(width: number, height: number) to change the size of the plugin window during runtime? I would like to offer 2 different sizes of the plugin, if the user wants it…

Hello! I have been working in Figma basics. I uploaded a ton of pictures in Figma to decide on my profile layout. Unfortunately, couple of minutes after, Figma crashed and all I see when I open my project is just orange background. I do not see any of the elements I already created. When I log in to my iPad, I can see everything. I thought that it is about pictures, so I deleted them, but on my computer nothing changed. I cannot open the project and see all my work, just orange background. Please help!

We have a component set with some variables. When using instances, we used to replaced the variables for new local variables. It worked fine, now it is not working properly. It tends to reuse the original one from the component. I’m willing to share the file with Figma support. This is very serious issue as or design system heavily uses variables on components.

Do you have noticed renewed colour in Figma logo? It is too sharp I guess.

I am using a wireless mouse and if I try to move my mouse, the screen starts shaking automatically even after I don’t use my mouse and after a couple of seconds it stops but creates difficulty while designing.

I have a problem downloading Figma it says to check the setup log

I’m just working with FigJam (in Figma Windows 11 app), and my cursor converted to strange hand sometimes to a few seconds. Why this happened, what it’s mean and how I can disable this? (I’m in solo project.)

I’m making a paid Figma plugin, but I am unable to publish the plugin - I’ve received the below notification: May I know how long the seller status check will take? And how will we be notified that it is completed?

Hey, As we have completed our school course, I no longer need the Education plan, and it is now interfering with my work. How can I fully remove it? I tried creating a ticket, but was informed that I don’t have access to the ticket system due to being on the starter plan. Thanks for the help!

Hello everyone! I use the API endpoint “www.api.figma.com/v1/images” to pull images from Figma frames, the way I know what file and what node to pull, is by copying a link to the frame in Figma and then parsing the info, yesterday the link would look like this “www.figma.com/file/…”, today it looks like this “Free Design Tool for Websites, Product Design & More | Figma…”. Was there any change in the URL structure, or is there any other reason why this might happen?

Hello, I recently just graduated from my school and I have lost access to all my files in the school email. Is there a way where I can regain the access to my edu account and forward the files to my personal account?

I am the account administrator and today I created the token with read permission. The link is also correct, but it gives an error (Error when exporting: 403 - {“status”:403,“err”:“Invalid token”})

As an Admin when inviting people in my company to join Figma, I only see a simple invite box but it has no role options. After I invite them, I see they are “pending” but cannot pre-assign them a role. This means after I invite them, they have to send me a second request to upgrade them to contributor. Is there a way I can simply invite them as a contributor to begin with? Or change their role when they are pending? This would save a lot of back and forth and time for them and me.

Hi, Figma is new for me, i’m currently is using free version in Edge browser for my Free version of Figma for my learning i’m currently facing an issue, the cloud icon (i.e. The current document has unsaved changes) is shown when i uploaded an image into my document. i tried to leave the document open in the browser for few hours but the saving still hasn’t happened. if i close the tab in the browser then i can’t load the document again. there is only choice for me to remove the image from the document. Note: i can’t use desktop version because my organization not let me install anything into my computer (i.e. i don’t have admin permission). if i can’t upload any image then i can’t move on my learning for HiFi design. how i can resolve this issue ?Please search for existing topics before posting!

Hello, I’m currently working on implementing the site layout grid in Figma. I have a question regarding layout grids for desktop sizes. Instead of setting the type to center, is it possible to set the type to stretch and apply an 80px margin? Additionally, what are the most commonly used frame sizes for desktop and mobile layouts?

I’ve been having an issue where every time I click on a text box, it changes the font slightly and makes it larger. My coworker was having this problem and we were able to uninstall the font from her computer. This fix isn’t working for me since I don’t have it downloaded anywhere on my machine.

Hi all! I’m fairly new to Figma, and I’m trying to create a daily agenda for an upcoming team event. Is there any way to have a real time tracker as indicated by the dotted red line? Ideally, I’d be doing this for Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday of that week. Please let me know if you have any questions, thank you!

Hi there, I don’t know why the page won’t load and goes blank. I just want to share my portfolio with others. I am on the server site. Please help.

I’m porting an existing design system to Figma, and I’m wondering, what are the best practices in 2024 for building components with dynamic children? For example, a dropdown menu where one instance has options A, B, C, and another instance has options D, E, F, G, etc. Or, a resuable modal component. Some UI Kits / design systems I’ve seen here require a component instance to be configured, then detached. Is this the standard approach?

Hi, I’ve created a simple infographic in Figma to test the features specifically I have placed clickable links to send the user to specified url’s. When using the ‘preview mode’ in the online Figma editor this works fine – so the implementation of the links should be correct. But when I use the embed code I can’t seem to click on the elements to navigate the user to the urls linked under them. I’ve tried this on my own page and on 2 embed code testing websites to be sure the issue wasn’t related to my own page.

Does anyone use Figma for financial planning? I’m looking for templates to do the following: 1. depict cash flow (including asset distributions details) more clearly than eMoney. 2. Use it for Side by Side comparisons of previous years numbers to current years update numbers.

Only when I create a combined component and try to add a “change to” interaction between them, do a few interaction triggers get disabled. On drag, while hovering, and while pressing get disabled. And if I select Mouse enter, it doesn’t work in the prototype.

I wrote a plugin that is working fine. But when I try to refactor some code into functions the same functionality stops to function. It seems that any code I place into nested async functions never return a value. I also tried the “then” syntax. Is this a known issue and how do I resolve this? In the example below async function updateElements() is an async function nested in a function that is already async. Any await figma.... does not return (so it is not just this function). This sin’t really covered in the documentation I read, for example Asynchronous Tasks | Plugin API async function updateElements() { console.log('This line appears in console, indicating the function is executed'); const colorVariable = await figma.variables.getVariableByIdAsync('VariableID:2:492'); console.log('Never get\'s here'); } figma.ui.onmessage = async (msg: { type: string, background: string, color: string }) => { if (msg.type === 'update-elements') { const colorVariable =
