App Update Renders Fonts Unusable

Figma: Desktop app version 125.10.8 on Macbook OS 15.7.2 

 

I made my design a year ago. 

 

I updated the Figma app this week and now when I want to edit existing text blocks I get a grey box font warning pop up:

 
So I select my existing PT Sans font and even though I have selected the PT Sans font the warnings won't go away when I go back to edit my existing text?

 

I even tried "replace whole page." No difference. I can’t edit any of my existing text boxes without the pop up warning, which basically ignores my PT Sans selection?

I have tried selecting PT Sans Bold (Bold I think is the issue even though this is a style not a font?) It doesn’t work when I select PT Sans and I try and add it? :




I still cannot edit any of my text?

 

Thanks

Bard

    I used replace fonts and nothing happened because even after I have clicked on the "replace fonts" but the font pop up warning still comes back??

    Solution!

    • Click "Replace fonts" in this dialog to apply these mappings
    • Quit Figma completely (Cmd+Q, not just close the window)
    • Open Font Book on your Mac
    • Search for "PT Sans"
    • Select the PT Sans family, right-click, and choose "Validate Font"
    • If any issues appear, try removing and reinstalling PT Sans:
      • Select PT Sans in Font Book
      • Right-click → Remove "PT Sans" Family
      • Download fresh PT Sans from Google Fonts
      • Install all 4 font files
    • Restart your Mac (this clears the font cache)
    • Reopen Figma
