Hi, I created an interactive component that worked fine until one week ago (more or less). Now, when you hover on it the font changes and shows the message “Some missing fonts were replaced”

We are having the same issue, breaking our usability tests up to a point where our data is truly useless. What’s the status on this and did you guys figure out what is going on?

As seen today this Bug / issue still exists… I have no words for that.
Even Sketch offers proper font embedding…

I emailed support@figma.com by submitting a request at https://help.figma.com/hc/en-us/requests/new
They resolved the missing font issue for the files that I work with quickly. I was also facing a second issue with overrides, which is still pending a fix due to the holidays now. But all these components worked well for me before the end of November this year. Hoping they can resolve the second issue quickly too.

I’ve struggled with this for a while – Font Awesome icons get fouled up in prototype mode (they change to a mixture of icon and text). The font files are loaded into our org as a shared file. I also had the font files added to my system locally. When I disabled the local files, the problem disappeared. Of course that means we can’t use Font Awesome anywhere except in Figma, which is not ideal, but we can enabled the fonts as needed for other work.

We’ve also just started experiencing the “Some missing fonts were replaced” issue on buttons in prototypes.

For one of our designers, when she hovers over the quaternary variant of the button, the spacing shifts right 8px and stays there unless clicked. I as the design systems designer cannot reproduce this error on my computer, so I am wondering if this is an issue with the way that local font and org-wide uploaded fonts are configured on individual computers?

Please advise one what’s the best course of action to correct this issue.
