Missing font style when variables change

I really like the new variables feature but currently I’m struggling with it… I built some components, where I used variables within the text. When the value of the variable changes, the text style changes, more precisely the individual font will be removed. Is this a bug or does anyone has a hint for me?

Apart from this issue, variables are the best addition ever!

I’ve also been struggling with this issue.

Same here. Weirdly enough it happens not every time, but like 80% of a time. We have 2 custom fonts we use regularly, and in one file both of the fonts are reset, in other files only one of them is reset. I recorded a Loom (no sound) to capture this occurring. Interestingly enough it doesn’t happen with Inter.

This is happening to me too. I’m using a radio input to change the value of a text variable, which is then displayed on the page as a heading (“Chosen option: <variable>”)

When the prototype first loads the font is correct, but as soon as I change the variable text via the radio, it changes to Inter.

I remember a similar bug when interactive components first launched: Missing fonts in prototype - Interactive components
