Issue resolved - updating the Command Line Tools fixed the compatibility problems with Figma on macOS 15. Pages are responsive again and the font error is gone.
——————
Update - unfortunately, the issue resurfaced. Here’s what I did to resolve it:
- Clear Figma cache: In the Figma menu, go to “Help” - “Troubleshooting” - “Clear Cache and Restart”. This step clears Figma’s cached data.
- Restart the Mac system: I chose to shut down completely and then manually restart. I’m not sure if a normal restart would also work.
After restarting the system and opening Figma again, everything was back to normal.
你好,我更新了命令行工具后,问题依然存在,请问具体应该如何操作?期待你的答复,谢谢
Hey @Sympathy , glad to hear you have found a fix and for letting us know your workaround!
@aGuang , can you force-quit and reopen Figma after updating the Command Line Tools to see if that helps?
Do you see the missing font warning by any chance? If so, you need to Manage Missing Fonts. Please check this article for the workarounds.
As stated there the most common reasons for missing fonts are:
- 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 you have this font already installed on your computer, you’ll need to either use our Desktop App or follow the instructions to Access local fonts on your computer to use local fonts in the browser.
If the issue still occurs, I suggest you to reach out directly to the support team here so they can investigate it further.
Please also mention the steps you have done, the specs (desktop /browser) and if it affects your browser, desktop app or both. Thank you!
Thank you for your response, I will try to resolve it according to your method.
有试过重启系统吗,命令行更新不会自动重启,如果没有的话可以重启下系统试试
我也遇到的相同的问题,更新命令行重启后还是存在这个问题
I’ve encountered the same bug.
Update the command line or restart computer still not working.
Even I changed it to another font, Figma will stuck anyway.
It seems Figma has font compatible issue on macOS 15.
I also encountered the same problem. How exactly do you update the command line tools to fix it? I’m not quite sure about the procedure. Thank you so much for your reply and help!
Hey everyone,
Thanks for flagging this. Can you also try to clear out the cache to see if that helps?
You can follow the steps in this article:
Figma Learn - Help Center
If this still doesn’t help, as explained, please reach out directly to the support team here . Our technical team can investigate it further the root issue on your end. Thank you!
Hello! Here’s how to update the command line tools to fix the Figma freezing issue:
- Check for system available updates. In addition to macOS updates, Apple also pushes a separate update for Xcode Command Line Tools, which is around 700MB in size.
- If the command line tools update is available, click to install it. Once the installation is complete, restart your computer.
- If you’re still experiencing issues after updating the command line tools, you can try the following troubleshooting steps:
- Clear the cache of the Figma desktop app
- Try opening the Figma file in different browsers like Safari or Edge
- Try opening Figma in the browser’s incognito/private mode
- Clear your browser cache
- Clear your macOS system cache files
I hope these steps help you successfully resolve the Figma freezing issue. If you have any other questions or concerns, feel free to ask.
Are you sure that the new PingFang fonts are being used instead of the old ones? Upgrading from macOS 14 to 15 may result in duplicated PingFang font in the Font Book. After resolving duplication by removing the old PingFang fonts, I cannot use the new ones.
Same here, it’s not working. But I changed the font from PingFang into the other one, which fixed the issue temporarily
Here are some additional details for reference:
The entire Adobe suite also cannot apply the PingFang font on this new system.
Using Figma through a browser in a UTM virtual machine (Mac OS 14) also cannot apply system fonts.
Other browser-based applications are also experiencing the same issue.
Sketch and Apple’s own applications do not have this problem.
The new version of Figma has perfectly resolved the issue with the PingFang font. Thank you for your quick response.
What do you mean ‘the new version’? The problem is not resolved yet for me here, neither the beta nor official version. And I did not receive any version update of Figma after Config 2024.
Today, I just received a hotfix from Figma, and it resolved the font issue.
It’s the same version but the issue still exists to me.
I think there’s individual difference between devices. Like on my colleagues’ Macbooks with M1 Pro chip instead of on my M1 Macbook Air, they have never got this issue.
Anyway, I can only temporarily stop using PingFang instead. Thx for your replies.
You might want to try updating Figma again. I hope it helps!
Unfortunately, after updating to the MacOS 15 Public Beta version, the issue has reappeared (it initially started with Beta 3). Could you please ask the Figma engineering team to look into this and provide a fix? Thank you very much for your assistance!
After clearing the cache and restarting the software, the issue has been resolved!
It works finally! And I’m still on beta 3
Still facing this issue even after clearing cache/restarting Figma/restarting Laptop. Anyone can advise? 😦
