Hey @Gal_Kalif, sorry for the delay! It looks like you’ve already been working with Rin via email today.

Hey ! yes I have, but this is going nowhere for now,
I needed to start working on my projects already as I’m the only designer and I need to deliver projects… this is very urgent (already a week now) and I haven’t received any solution yet,
Please help me figure this out asap! I appreciate your help,
Gal

Hi, I just lost access to editing figjam files I am the owner of as well.

I tried to clear cache, log-out & login, I get the same issue in every browser and desktop app.

The error displayed shows “Missing Font Replaced”

I can add stickies, shapes, text boxes, but cannot type into any of them or edit any of the existing text.

The only text field that I can edit is the title to a Section.

I’m experiencing this issue as well. Is there somewhere I should be submitting a bug?

I am experiencing the same problem as Jennise_Garcia.
this started after updating the Mac OS to Big Sur 11.7.2

At first, when trying to open a FigJam file there was an error message that it could not load the Editor (I didn’t record the exact language)
I cleared the Cache, restarted and then I was able to open the file.

Now:

The error displayed shows “Missing Font Replaced”
I can add stickies, shapes, text boxes, but cannot type into any of them or edit any of the existing text.

I read about the missing font being “Inter”
I found Inter and installed it

Still have the same problem

I was added as an admin to an existing team and am having this same problem. Has this not been resolved?

I also have this problem, my client tried to even add me as a owner and admin but still cannot edit fig jam files, create new figjam files and even had problems with regular figma files.

Hi all,
Could you try first these workarounds:

  • logging out and back in
  • clearing your browser/desktop app’s cache
  • un-installing and re-installing the desktop app

If you are still running into issues, please reach out to the team so they can collect some datas to investigate further: here. Thank you!
