Fonts/Typefaces Classification

Does anyone also think that the Font search section On Figma could be better, I mean we could have our Installed fonts or general fonts classified into different font families. Just like how we have it on some other Softwares.

Printing from FigmaJam

Hi, We have a FigmaJam that we have used to map user journeys through our app. This document is massive but we would like to be able to print it across multiple pages so the text is legible and we can look at the full document all at once on a wall. Does anyone know if this is possible in Figma or if not can anyone recommend how we could do this using other tools. Thanks, Jack

Font rendering bug after swapping organisation font?

Hi, I ran into a weird thing. I am working for a company with their own font. They had installed it on an organisational level but there was an issue with the vertical trim not being equal. All text looked like it was off (sitting too low) although being vertically centred. I’ve raised the issue and they have replaced the font with a corrected version. Now I’ve updated all existing text styles (using the Batch Styler plugin) and swapped out Inter for the corporate font. However, at first, the problem didn’t seem to be fixed. Upon further investigation, it seems that I have to double-click each text layer (highlighting all text fields) to trigger font re-rendering (and fix the problem). See video here. Since I am working with an existing library, I can’t really go through each of the 1,000s of Text Fields manually to make them update. Is there a better way of doing this? And is this a bug?

Using the same license key by different users (in different times)

I have 2 accounts on Figma, one using my personal email and another using my Work Email. I wanted to know what would happen if I paid for some plugin and got a license key that I used with my Work account, then I left the company and went back to my personal account, Can I use the license key then? considering that the other account isn’t active anymore.

Variable on scaled component gets scaled

I have a component, which in my case is an Avatar. The local instance of that component is scaled down from its original size. I have observed that while applying a border to the component and adding a variable for the size, it also gets scaled down. However, if the size of the border is manually typed, it appears fine. In my scenario, I want to use a variable for a 2px border size, but when applied, it gets converted to 0.4. When I use the component the stacked avatars are placed in, they appear with a 2px border no matter that in the component itself it’s 0.4, and everything looks okay.

Pixel snapping not working anymore, snaps to decimal value

I am going crazy here. It seems in one of my files the snapping works not or in a weird way. Whenever I move elements vertically, they snap to a decimal value instead of to a clean value. they do increase by full pixels but the decimal parts stays. All elements are clean and full pixels.

Using "scroll to" causes it to not scroll back up and add lots of white space

I have a page in my prototype that uses “scroll to”. You click on a menu item on the left, and it scrolls to that section. Perfect. But then I can’t scroll all the way back up, a bit works but not all the way. At the bottom it also adds lots of white space that shouldn’t be there. What am I doing wrong? I’ve tried both making in scroll to a header, and using the Y-offset and X-offset.

Font folder alias not working

Figma does not recognize fonts in a folder alias. Some context: I keep my fonts synced in a Google Drive folder. To activate a font, I just make an alias in the system fonts folder: macHD>Library>Fonts>[alias-to-my-font] This is particularly useful in while working with unfinished fonts that update regularly, to prevent them from getting stuck in the computer font cache. Aliases in the fonts folder allows me to update fonts on the fly instead of uninstalling fonts and restarting all software or in the worst case restarting the computer. For other software this works, for Figma not. This trick is especially useful with is with the Adobe fonts folder which updates in seconds. Could Figma have a similar feature to the Adobe fonts folder?

Responsive HTML and CSS from Figma Design

Please search for existing topics before posting! Press 🔍 at the upper right to search.Hello everyone, I’ve created three different frames in Figma for Desktop, Tablet, and Mobile. I want to export the design as HTML and CSS. Currently, I’m facing an issue where the HTML isn’t responsive. With a plugin like Anima, it’s possible to select different frames from Figma for three viewports. However, I can no longer export projects in Anima because the free plan only allows 5 exports, and their paid packages are too expensive for me. I can only export the three frames individually. Is there a way in Figma itself to set the viewports in the design and then export all three viewports into a single HTML and CSS file?

Publish Library is suddenly extremely slow

I’ve got a Design System file which I use to publish my components to a main design. After some pretty benign changes across several components, it now takes a couple minutes for the list of changed assets to populate & another several minutes for the compile & publish step to go through. For long chunks of time, this panel is entirely unresponsive and clicking Publish or Cancel doesn’t do anything. How can I troubleshoot to identify what is causing this? EDIT: Steps I’ve tried so far - logging out, clearing cache, using desktop app instead, attempting to undo the changes I’d made (not sure I did all of them, it’s hard to work in the file since it’s suddenly very unresponsive in general).

getVariableById doesn't work if the variable is not in the file

Hi, I have a plugin that uses a list of hardcoded variable IDs to set colors for text. When I create a new file, link the library with my variables, and call getVariableById it doesn’t fail but when I try to apply it to a node using setBoundVariableForPaint I get The variable with id "VariableID:7451bd8375ccbe6a2d7e9fcda9e5fcad24dbb1da/1813:605" does not exist at... When I manually apply the variable to a rectangle in the same file, it then works. So I would say this is a bug. Or maybe I’m missing some other function that I need to use?

Swap instance based viewport?

Hello - is there any way to use layout grids ad have them change based on viewport size. IN the same vein, can component instances be swapped based on viewport or grid layout? I’s love to be able to have a template that when it scales down to template size mobile variants get swapped into the design. I can see that this can be done manually. You need to swap the grid manually and then swap the component manually(one that could be optimized for mobile) Thanks for any ideas or plugins. 🙂

Figma design system library

Hey Guys, I created a library and used it for many different project in our design studio. but each project has its own color palette. and when ever I apply a color on design system components, the structure of components will be ruined. for example when I changed a button primary color, and then in other page I changed the primary to disable, the disable state of button will have wrong color. (something mixed of the disable and primary)

Ability to move the comment bubbles

Currently, if we comment on an artboard and move it around the same page the comment bubble usually stays with that artboard wherever it goes. But when an artboard is cut/pasted to another page within the Figma file the comments do move with the artboard. This becomes a problem if I want to move my older designs into the archive page along with the comments for auditing. Any help?

Variables Modes remain visible in panel after deleting

When I set variable modes to a component, I see my existing modes from the token file. however, previous (obsolete) modes which I already deleted are still visible from the selection in the label section in the design panel. How do permanently delete that mode from the panel? See ‘color tokens’ in the screenshot

Resizing frame with elements' constraints set to "scale", without stretching them?

I’m making a slider that has four positions. I would like the slider “dots” and blue slider bar to scale with the width of the frame, so that I can make shorter slider bars. but when I try to do this by setting those objects to “scale” in the constraints tab, I get squished slider dots. Is there a way to use “scale” constrain only to move the object, without scaling it’s dimensions? A similar question was asked here, but I’m not sure they are explaining the same issue, so I thought I’d explain the issue in more detail. Thanks!
