Question

Published Figma Sites no longer support custom non-Google fonts?

I noticed that the custom font files on my published Figma Sites are no longer working as of this past week. My custom fonts were literally loading on Monday of this week and now my site is all default web fonts. Upon chatting with Figma AI Support, it said “Figma Sites does not currently support custom fonts, and published Sites support Google Fonts only.”

Is this true? Is anyone else having this issue? Did Figma announce this change anywhere?

Note: Figma Sites is giving me zero errors with my font files, the CSS simply isn’t reading them anymore. I’ve deleted and re-uploaded several times.

Hi ​@Ashley Shugart, thanks for reaching out! 

I understand how this must be disrupting your workflow. To clarify, published Figma Sites still do support custom fonts. One thing that may be happening here is browsers need a web font file served with your site. This means any custom font has to be uploaded as .woff or .woff2 under Site settings → Fonts before publishing. Another thing worth knowing: if a font file gets removed while text layers are still using it, the published CSS keeps pointing at the missing file and the browser falls back to default sans-serif, which lines up with what you're seeing after a few delete/re-upload rounds. A few questions, so we can help: 

  • In Site settings → Fonts, are the .woff/.woff2 files still listed after your most recent publish?
  • Have you hit Publish → Update since the last upload? (Uploading alone doesn't push it live.)
  • Any specific weights or styles affected, or all of them?

 

Here's the full walkthrough in the meantime: Add a custom font to your site. If everything above checks out, and it's still falling back, that points to something on our end. Let me know, and I can help connect you with our support team to investigate further.

Hi ​@djv! Thanks for the response.

Yes, all fonts uploaded are .woff files. Re-publishing has not fixed the issue. It’s two different font families, each with different weights, and none of them are showing up on the published sites - they are all defaulting to Helvetica. I’ve found a code workaround for the time-being that is essentially loading the fonts from another site hosted on a different platform.

As I said in my original message, the fonts were loading fine earlier this week on the published pages, and then it seemed like over night around Wednesday or Thursday, the css was no longer reading the uploaded font files.

Thanks for the additional context, ​@Ashley Shugart

Glad to hear you’ve found a temporary code workaround. I’ve created ticket #2127003 to connect you with our support team to investigate further.
