Everything was working absolutely fine yesterday, but when I started work today, I now have an issue where I can’t edit any of the text layers in my project.
If I double click within the text to edit it, I get a ‘missing fonts’ popup where it asks me to relink the fonts. I do this, but it doesn’t take effect - it just keeps looping the same thing whenever I try to edit any text.
I’m on a MacBook Air running Tahoe 26.5, and I’m getting the same issue on both the desktop app and the browser version.
The fonts in question are Avenir, which is a Mac system default font, and Font Awesome Pro Plus 7.2.0, which I’ve purchased, but when I try and choose other fonts, some (but not all) are also affected, for example, Gill Sans, which is also a system default installed font.
I’ve tried deleting and reinstalling Figma, and I’ve also tried the same fonts in other apps like Textedit and Microsoft Word, and the fonts work fine in those apps, so this is definitely a Figma-specific issue.
At the moment, I can’t use these fonts and I’m having to update all my font styles to use other system fonts that look very similar, but that’s not a long-term solution. The client project I’m working on requires Avenir as their brand font, so this needs fixing ASAP.
I’m a freelancer and I’ve just wasted nearly two hours of my working day trying to figure out why the fonts that worked perfectly fine only yesterday, now don’t. This is clearly a Figma issue, perhaps related to an overnight update that wasn’t properly tested, but please can you fix this!
