Yes, needed.

I’m suprised that this isn’t a function given how long ago this was raised. Just the ability to scope text strings to the line height value so we can create % text strings would be a start.

Me too please.

This was raised quite a long time ago, this should be implemented ASAP.

Any movement on this? This would be reeeeeeeeeeaally useful.

I just want to add my +1 to this.
This is an urgent feature and this suggestion was made a year ago.
We currently can’t add line-height and letter-spacing to our variable collection and it’s limiting our ability to deliver designs to our devs without having to add extra instructions everywhere.

Being able to use EM and REM would be a huge and valued update.

+1 Either unitless numbers or be able to use string variables for the Line height

Without this, tokenizing line height feels very broken.

+1,000 Come on FIgma! This is absolute basics for type on the web, especially given the announcement of Sites.

So for now, we have a bunch of half-implemented products that just make Figma’s portfolio look bigger — but still lack some core, basic features like this. Nice. I see where the company’s priorities lie.

Please! Implement it! We need this feature for design ssytem!

I’m upvoting this. seems like a relatively easy fix for an issue having huge negative impact on design systems.

100% agree. I’m running into this issue right now for a mutli-themed enterprise system. Please fix this Figma.
