Hi Chibuike!
In order to enable the ruler, please click on Figma logo Capture d’écran 2023-11-01 à 14.48.47 to open the main menu.

  1. Go to View > Rulers.

You can also enable rulers by using the keyboard shortcut Shift + R.

You’re welcome Chibuike! Do you mean the Device Frames? This can help you to control how your prototype looks in presentation view. You can read this Help Center article: https://help.figma.com/hc/en-us/articles/360039823894-Set-prototype-device-and-starting-point?source=answerbot#Device

To select a specific device in your presentation view: when you select your Frame, go on your Prototype tab (in the right panel), click “Show prototype settings”, and select the device.

And, If you want to create a frame with a specific format device: You can click on the Frame icon (on the top left), and you will see in the right panel, in Prototype tab, a selection of device.

Hi Chibuike,
This seems to be another issue not related to the topic. I’d recommend you to try to reinstall the font , restart Figma, and clear the cache to see if that helps, here the steps to clear the cache: https://help.figma.com/hc/en-us/articles/360040328553-Use-Figma-while-offline#clear-data

Here’s our guide to help you manage missing fonts and some workarounds: https://help.figma.com/hc/en-us/articles/360039956994-Manage-missing-fonts#fix-missing

As reminder, here are a few causes for missing fonts:

  • Missing installed fonts: collaborators are using a local font, which you don’t have installed.
  • Conflicting versions: collaborators are using a different (older or newer) version of the font.
  • Missing font styles: Either the style was missing from a download, or you are using a different version of the font which doesn’t include that weight or style.

If that doesn’t help, I’d suggest you to reach out directly the support team here: https://help.figma.com/hc/en-us/requests/new

I don’t mean missing fonts. What i meant is that when i select a font like ‘monda’ and i don’t what it to be either “BOLD” or “REGULAR” maybe semi bold or light bold. but all i can see is Bold and Regular which is not suppose to be. i can’t be using only Bold and Regular. Do you understand?

Thank you for giving more details about your issue. After checking for “Monda”, it’s exact that we have only bold and regular natively on Figma. If you want semi bold or light bold, I’d suggest you to install in your local fonts. Here the steps to do it in the browser and in the desktop app: https://help.figma.com/hc/en-us/articles/360039956894-Access-local-fonts-on-your-computer
