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”

I am experiencing something similar.
I have interactive dropdowns that use the same text font as all our files (taking them from the design system), yet… when I share the prototype with people that don’t have the font installed, they don’t see the texts 🤷‍♀️ , they are not replaced, but invisible.
This doesn’t help for user testing.
Figma, please help!

P.S. The weirdest thing of all is that on my machine I see everything working perfectly fine, but when I share the prototype… things go south.

This is STILL an issue and unacceptable as prototypes are used for stakeholders presentations. @Figma_Support do you have any update on when this will be resolved? Really losing my trust in Figma’s prototyping if this continues.

This is still an issue, and you can’t use the outline workaround as I noticed it occurring when I use the Set Variable prototyping functionality, font displays fine at first, then once I click the element that sets a string variable to another value, the font immediately breaks.

Same here… do realise these advanced features are in beta- fingers crossed this is fixed soon.

same here. i am using the variables for translations in different languages and when the prototype is set in another language and i click on a dropdown component to change the value it is resetting to the default language saying the font is missing and i am losing the translation.

this was working last month when i originally created the prototype, but now its getting more buggy.
