Hello, I’ve tried every solution I could find so far, but I still haven’t been able to implement local fonts in Figma Make.

I would like to use fonts such as Inter from locally hosted font files instead of loading them from Google Fonts. I also need to use custom fonts that are not available on Google Fonts.

Unfortunately, none of the approaches I’ve tried have worked. Could you please explain whether local and custom fonts are currently supported in Figma Make and, if so, what the correct implementation process is?

 

This is particularly important to me because, without a reliable way to host fonts locally, I cannot confidently use Figma Make for projects intended for the EU.

Hey hey ​@JIkushirin 🤩 Thanks for the write-up.

A couple of quick questions:

  • Which fonts are we talking about, and are they already available to you inside Figma? Meaning: installed on your computer (via the Figma font installer or desktop app), or uploaded as shared fonts by an admin on an Organization/Enterprise plan? The font uploader in Make Settings > Fonts only lists fonts it already knows about from your Figma setup. If your custom fonts aren't in Figma yet, that would explain why nothing you've tried has stuck
  • Where does it break — in the Make editor/preview, in the published app, or both? Those use different font sources, so the fix is different depending on which one you're seeing
  • On the EU point, I want to make sure I understand. Is the concern that no font requests should go out to Google's servers when someone loads your app? Or is it that the font files need to be served from your own domain or infrastructure? Or something else (I know there can be complexity here) 

If you can share a screenshot of what you see under Settings > Fonts in your Make file, that'd help a lot too.

Docs for reference, in case any of it is new:

Thanks! — Jaycee

So, this applies to all fonts in general. I can't embed fonts locally that are available on Google Fonts, such as Inter, nor can I embed others, such as TT Ricordi Marmo.

I've now tested this with an account that has an Education License, and no matter what I do, I never see the option to upload fonts. 

“The use of Google Fonts without the user’s consent violates the GDPR if this requires establishing a connection to Google servers in the U.S.,” as ruled by the Munich Regional Court (Case No. 3 O 17493/20).

When embedding an external font, the visitor’s IP address is transmitted to the third-party provider (Google), which constitutes an impermissible infringement of personal rights and a data protection violation.
