Hi there, I’ve got an issue with fonts in our organization. We had some fonts that had issues with their metadata as shared fonts, so we replaced them with new fonts with the same name & style but fixed the metadata (inherent font weight, bold, italic etc). But after replacing i’m getting the missing font prompt in a lot of files, and i’m unable to select the font to replace with as well. This effectively renders every text unusable as i can’t edit the text unless i change to a random font. Tried reverting as well in organization fonts to the old fonts with the wrong metadat but that made it even worse and every file got the missing font prompt. This is quite a serious issue and I don’t know how to resolve it?

Hi, I'm a student and I paid money for Pegma and received a study permit to use Pegma for free for students. Can I cancel the payment and use the student permit for free?

Thinking of prototyping specifically. Just to be clear - I’m looking for something that does what you intend to achieve, rather than not doing what you intend to achieve. For example, if I put one animation inside another, I’m looking for one animation to be inside another, as oppposed to one animation NOT being inside another. Sort of like the prototyping equivalent of a caclulator that divides when you select the divide button, or a car that turns on when you press the on button. Does that make sense? So, something that works as opposed to being a soggy baguette.

I’m confused as to why figma is telling me I can’t edit or move this file. I created it. I own it. I’m logged in with my only Figma account. I pay $$$ monthly. There is no clear explanation/reason for view only permission level.

Buenos días, quería comentarles algo sobre la última actualización de FigJam. Uso mucho esa parte de Figma para estudiar y preparar exámenes (especialmente para practicar parciales), y desde que se actualizó me está resultando muy difícil usarla. Antes podía escribir con lápiz y moverme con los dedos sin problema. Ahora el sistema confunde mis dedos con el lápiz, y termina escribiendo cosas que no quiero o seleccionando todo sin querer. También cambió el trazo del lápiz, y no para mejor. Antes era claro y simple, perfecto para escribir números y letras. Ahora se siente como si dependiera de la presión, y a veces no se ven bien las letras que escribo (una E, por ejemplo, aparece incompleta). En lo personal, esta actualización me está complicando mucho, justo ahora que estoy en época de finales. ¿Hay alguna forma de volver a la versión anterior de FigJam para escritorio? O al menos desactivar lo del trazo por presión y que no reconozca los dedos como lápiz?Adicional a eso, ahora que es

We are a small organisation on the Figma team plan. We have two design libraries at present that serve different device types that need to be merged into one. I’ll give an example to help.Example:In two separate design systems I have a button, one design system houses the button for iOS devices and one design system houses the buttons for Web. I want to combine my design systems and have one single button style that applies to both iOS and Web.  Is there a way to do this without needing to replace all of the instances of the button component in one set of my files? There are thousands of instances at this point and it would take me a silly amount of time to do it manually.(Also a note in case it’s relevant - none of my components currently use variables)

I have lost access of my file 

Hello, could you please clarify why the annotations stopped working? They seem to have disappeared from the bottom menu—only comments remain now.

Hey everyone,I’m hoping someone here has been in a similar situation or might know what I can do.A few years ago I used Figma all the time with a student license. I saved a ton of projects on that account — many of which are important and I’d really like to access again.I stopped using it for a while, and now that I logged back in, I realized my student license expired and Figma’s free plan now only allows 1 project with up to 3 files.Everything else is locked.I can’t even view or export anything. To unlock the account I have to pay the $20/month Pro plan — just to get access to my own work.Honestly, this feels super unfair. The free version wasn’t this limited back when I was using it. And now with Adobe being crazy expensive too, it sucks that I need to pay another €20/month just to rescue my old projects.Is there any way I can access or transfer my files without paying? Like a temporary workaround or something? Or even a way to contact support and request a one-time access?Any help

Hi team I’m unable to upload preview video and the error is not shown even from Figma desktop and web Device: Mac M1 Browser: ARC here my plugin community page https://www.figma.com/community/plugin/1454678999204089354/structura-swagger-annotator

Hi team,I’m Prakash Hinduja from Geneva, Switzerland (Swiss) running into a problem in Figma where I’m unable to move or edit a component — it seems to be locked or restricted in some way. I’ve checked the layer panel, but it’s not clearly marked as locked, and I’m not sure if it’s due to being an instance, part of a master component, or something else like Auto Layout constraints. RegardsPrakash Hinduja Geneva, Switzerland (Swiss)

Hello!yesterday we noticed in plugin page video removed. We don't touched video.Maybe problem on hosting?https://www.figma.com/community/plugin/1456944853117354366/

I am trying to create an instance swap on Figma on my iPad (in browser) I’ve tried several browsers and the behaviour is always the same. I select the piece of the component I want to instance swap (a chevron pointing down) and select the create instance swap property button. The popup appears and I can name or switch the instance but when I click to add a preferred instance to swap with the window closes with nothing having happened. The same is true when I click “Create Property” closes with nothing having happened. I also tried creating the property from the top level component and a similar issue occurs. I can name the property but when I click the “Pick an instance” button, the menu opens to pick one but clicking a component to use as an instance just closes the menu without having done anything. And you can’t create the property from this window without having picked an instance first. The instances I want to be able to swap are made from two chevron components.

Hey guys,When you PREVIEW a screen, in the past (and randomly nowaday as well), it was possible to cycle through the pages with the arrow keys, without having to PREVIEW a screen each time. You would simply hit RIGHT or LEFT and you would preview the next and previous pages.Why doesn’t it work anymore? I mean it works sometimes, but it’s very random. In the past it used to work all the time, now it works, but only sometimes. For example yesterday it was working, today it isn’t.

Is there a way to embed the Figma Make prototype in Figma Slide?I couldn’t find it...

I paid the annual fee for the Professional Annual Plan in May, but this June, I didn't use the full seat, but the full seat was charged for the year. I contacted the support team, but I haven't received a reply email yet. How long does it usually take to get a reply, and is a refund possible?

Hi all,I’m looking for a solid starting point for a instructions file for VSCode/Cursor when using the Figma MCP and outputting to HTML with Tailwind classes.I’ve created a file that uses a set of variables that would map very closely to Tailwind, my layers are named considerately (ie flex-col, flex-row, h2, p, button-group etc).So far I’ve used ChatGPT to create a ruleset, but the output in VSC is often incorrect and would basically be quicker just to manually write the code.On Twitter/X, Adam Wathan (founder of Tailwind) posted this:https://x.com/adamwathan/status/1937222377923915864?s=46&t=Zp5JtqqhOEFJCyrs0wJbqgIf anyone has a open source successful instructions md file, please point me in the right direction!

Hello Figma Site community!I recently launched my portfolio using Figma Site. After gathering some user feedback, I realized that people would like to manually scroll through the project photos.Personally, I’d like to keep the infinite marquee effect, but also add a way for users to manually scroll, either using arrows or horizontal scroll.The problem is, my images are inside an Image Strip component, and it seems like Figma Site doesn’t allow combining marquee with manual interactions.Has anyone found a workaround or solution to allow both features to work together?I'm happy to show my settings panel and share the site link if needed.https://www.claramistou.frThanks a lot! 🙏Clara

Every file I try to open has the same issue: the working area is gray and I cannot interact with it. However, the menu works, I see all options and layers. Still, I can’t do anything with them. How can I fix this?  

When selecting an object, the marking used to disappear when you change color - so you could see the effect in-real-time. Now we have to de-select the object to view the change. Really an issues that needs to be fixed!  

Hi everyone,I searched the forum but only found general issues about right-click not working at all – nothing about this specific behavior:When I right-click (or ctrl-click) on an object, I only get the short context menu (see first screenshot), instead of the full extended one (see second screenshot). This really slows down my workflow.I’m using the Figma Desktop App version 125.4.9, optimized for Apple Silicon, on a MacBook Pro (2021) with macOS Sonoma 14.5 and an Apple M1 Pro.Has anyone experienced this? Could this be a setting I’ve missed or a bug?Thanks in advance for any help!  

Any idea why this would be? The autoplay is turned on - and the sound is off but when previewing all the video’s sound is on!
