SF Pro Letter Spacing Issue

We are experiencing the same issue with SF Pro.

In our case, SF Pro is uploaded to our Figma Organization Fonts, so everyone should be using the same cloud-hosted font files. This means that a mismatch between different locally installed font versions is unlikely to be the cause.

The letter spacing becomes visually tighter than expected, even though the font, font weight, text style, and letter-spacing values remain unchanged. The text can appear different after selecting the layer or entering text-edit mode.

We experienced essentially the same issue a couple of years ago. It was later fixed, but it appears to have returned during the past two weeks.

We have not changed our typography setup, text styles, font files, or the way the font is distributed for several years. The issue started appearing again without any changes on our side, so this looks like a regression in Figma’s text rendering or layout caching rather than a problem with the font itself.

Could the Figma team investigate this separately from the local font version mismatch? We can provide a reproduction file or screen recording if needed.

Hey ​@Veniamin_Mylnikov - thank you for reporting. I saw you had actually posted this in a similar post over here, but I split it into a new topic here so we can address you directly.

I can file a bug report / check in with our support team to see if there are any known issues. If you could grab a screen recording *and* provide a copy of the file you’re reproducing it in, that would be phenomenal. I’ll make sure to share it. for review.

For the file, we only need view-only access to the one you’re able to share. Please share that access with support-share@figma.com. 

For the recording, you should be able to upload and share it as a response. If you’d prefer to not share that publicly, please feel free to PM me and I can work with you there.

Thank you!

​@Veniamin_Mylnikov Thank you! I just created an escalated support ticket on your behalf to have this looked at. There seems like there is some kind of local conflict at play, and I want to be sure it’s looked at carefully. The number is #2019838.

 

Appreciate your patience!
