I’ve got a design system that’s been built for tailwind css. All of the font styles are currently using the font Inter. Is there a way to universally replace fonts and apply it to all of the font styles in the system? I’ve tried various plug-ins but they only seem to replace the font in the figma pages and not the font styles in the design system itself.

Figma desktop app is not working , it showing black screen without any error message . I tried to uninstall and clear all the files in file manager and reinstalled it again but still its no opening throwing error like unable to open the Figma set up Please anyone help me with this issue

I have a nav icon that on hover displays a title and on click displays the menu. I am wondering in the prototype how to make the menu items clickable? I do not want to use open overlay because it doesn’t keep the nice smooth animation. Thank you!

Figma is pretty good with Google Fonts, but it always seems to be “behind” in the available fonts that you can pick in the UI. I tried to pick the font Wittgenstein - Google Fonts And it’s not visible as a font in the UI Font Pickers. Now I have to manually download and install the font, whereas normally you can just pick a Google Font and use it without installation (which saves a lot of space and memory on your computer).

We have multiple users who have opened tickets with Figma over the past 3 days to try to get help with an issue related to our user profiles and our admin account being locked out. We have yet to receive any responses from people at Figma. Is there any way to get a response from support?

As you see, i cannot invite people to my project. I need to solve this problem as soon as possible.

I’ve done all the tutorials in youtube or in Figma community, by deleting Figma folder in localapp or app data, but still can’t install my Figma

Multiple Figma accounts detected Make sure you’re logged into the same Figma account as the one that is attempting to authenticate to Jira, then try again. Has anyone seen this message before? I’m only logged into one account.

Missing page in Figma can it be restored? I worked about 11 hours in one page of the Figma file and have now discovered that the page is just gone, as well as 11 hours of work. The last time it was shown in the history was about 7 hours ago when a colleague visited the file, after that the page just disappeared

You could see and change the name of a FRAME on the board, but if you want to do with and INSTANCE. Is not possible, and you need to go to the layers, to change the name. Why one’s yes and others no? Better to do in all the elements. Thanks

Hi, everyone My screen flickers when I run the prototype in one of my projects (in the other projects everything works fine), the first 2 frames work smoothly and then everything starts flickering, I tried on several different computers and on mobile and the result is the same

Figma – 3 Jul 24 I created this prototype with the prototyper plugin but when I press play, smart animate isn’t working. I made sure I was using instances of the component set but it won’t play. What am I doing wrong here?

It has been almost a week since the last update, I expected this to be fixed by now. Does anyone else have this problem and/or found a fix?

So, i have a component - List, which contains list items as nested components. There are two types of list items, which are different components (not a variants of the same, though they both have their own variants and properties). I created an Instance property in List component and linked every list item to that single picker, so i could pick one of the two types of list items. The problem i have is that all list items sync their properties, so i cannot have list items that differ from each other. The only option i see is to link every list item to its own Instance picker, but it will overcomplicate the properties, can i somehow de-sync the properties of items, that are linked to the same Instance picker? I hope my question is understandable

I have the new Beta UI that came with the new AI Features. I cannot find the option to show resolved comments, that previously was easy to reach through the user settings. Anybody knows where I can find it?

Hi, I’m having big files on Figma and when dealing with them into Node.js I get: Error: Cannot create a string longer than 0x1fffffe8 characters at TextDecoder.decode (node:internal/encoding:449:16) at utf8DecodeBytes (node:internal/deps/undici/undici:2973:34) at parseJSONFromBytes (node:internal/deps/undici/undici:4306:25) at successSteps (node:internal/deps/undici/undici:4288:27) at fullyReadBody (node:internal/deps/undici/undici:2724:9) at process.processTicksAndRejections (node:internal/process/task_queues:95:5) at async consumeBody (node:internal/deps/undici/undici:4297:7) at getResponseBody (/xxxxxxxx/core/request.ts:217:13) at <anonymous> (/xxxxxxxx/core/request.ts:322:26) { code: 'ERR_STRING_TOO_LONG' } I know it’s not an issue with Figma because as a solution I could try to adjust my autogenerated client from the OpenAPI schema to deal with kind of “streams” to parse the JSON piece by piece but it complexifies the logic for just a f

Is there a way to keep this Layers section always open? I notice it always closes after finish Find.

Hi, When I am trying to switch for a dev mode I get an option of sending a request for dev mode support to the design owner. I am using a professional license and so is the design owner. I was told that if the design owner will approve my request, it will be billed with an additional fee (the design owner has a professional license as well). How can I switch to dev mode? what king of license I need?

I have developed a plugin that uploads JSON data to update text and colours on a page template. Is there a way I can automate this using REST APIs or Plugin APIs? The JSON data is generated dynamically, so I need to amend the plugin to fetch data from a JSON URL and apply it to the page template automatically. Is this even possible in Figma?

Can I upgrade my Figma account to Professional without assigning the upgrade to a team? I need the upgrade across all current and new projects.

Hi, would like to know if there’s any plans to allow access to Figma’s AI capabilities through the plugin API. It would interesting because it could allow us easily to integrate AI with our existing workflows through the plugin we’re developing. With features like automated design reviews or suggest annotations for accessibility

Hello! I’m very new to Figma and trying to just figure it out as I go. I’ve created an instance and I’m trying to make it thinner and have everything resize with it. How would I go about doing this? Is there something in the design panel that I’m missing? If you could add visuals to your response, that would be great!

Figma used to make a huge PDF, but now it’s so tiny that the pixels on the bitmaps are the size of a fist. What to do? How can I export a PDF now without losing quality?

I have two different components on this game map im making. I have interactings for the names on the left already. I want it to be when the name is hovered the icons on the map change to hover and when the name is clicked the icons changed to selected. Is this possible without making a ton of different screens.
