encountered an issue where SF Symbols' Unicode characters were not rendered accurately in Figma. Despite using a high-resolution Mac, the output quality did not meet the expected precision. Please find the referred screenshot.

    Hi again ​@Sridhar ,
    Could you confirm if you have 'Pixel Preview' enabled in Figma (Shift+Cmd+P on Mac)?


    With Pixel Preview on, it's expected that elements may appear pixelated when zoomed in, as it shows what the exact pixel output will be when the design is rasterized.

    If you're not aware of this setting, turning it off might help improve the appearance.

    Let us know if that's the case or if the issue persists after disabling Pixel Preview! Thank you

      Hi ​@Celine_D 
      Thanks for your response. I’m aware of the pixel preview option, and it wasn’t enabled. The issue occurs only with the 'SF Symbols' icon font from Apple. I haven’t tested other icon fonts yet.

      Please let me know if there's anything else I can do to help resolve this issue. Apologies for the delayed reply, and thanks in advance!
