Why isn’t it possible to set specific options for italic or bold variants on Text Styles in Figma Slides?

It seems like it chooses at random which option to reference — sometimes sticking to one option for a period of time and then randomly switching to another option later.

I want to be able to control this!

Hey ​@Ahdom Sayre, thanks for reaching out! 

I completely understand how frustrating this must be for you. But I just tested this capability, and it seems to be working as expected on my end. 


 

What font are you using? And are you also having this issue with text styles in Figma design?
