Hello Figma community,

I'm a type designer and I've encountered a workflow issue that affects font development in Figma. When I reinstall an updated font file (for example, after adjusting spacing, adding new glyphs, or making other modifications), Figma doesn't automatically display the updated version in existing text layers.

Current behavior: The font updates only become visible after clicking on each text box individually.

Expected behavior: Font updates should be reflected immediately across all text layers using that font family.

This creates an inefficient workflow during the iterative design process, as I need to manually interact with every text element to see the changes. For projects with multiple text layers, this becomes quite time-consuming.

Has anyone else experienced this issue? Is there a workaround I'm missing, or could this be considered for a future update?

Thanks for any insights or solutions you might have!
