Hi there,

Thanks for reaching out! Is this a shared style? If so, you might need Edit access to make changes. Could you please confirm?

If it’s a local style, could you let me know the font family name? I’m wondering if it’s a variable font. If it’s a static font, you’ll need to replace it. You can find more information here:

If the problem persists, would you be able to share the file link with access to support-share@figma.com? It won’t affect your billing. I hope I can investigate it further.

Thanks,
Toku


Hi,
Thank you for replying to my post on the community board. I am having 2 issues setting up variables in Figma.

No its not a shared style. I dont know why i put 700 and Figma wants to make it 900 instead. Hello, Toku,

Unfortunately if I set variable to font weight 700, Figma actually makes it 900 instead! Not sure if just a bug or anything else I can add.

Thank you,

Tatiana
