The current limitation makes no sense. It's super annoying and problematic. Just allow it like how it’s possible in a Figma Design file.

You can use system fonts in FigJam. Here’s how I do it.

 

  1. Create a text box (or boxes) in Figma with all off the type faces you want to use in FigJam. I create one text box for each font family.
  2. Copy that box and paste it into your FigJam project. Voila, the entire font family is available in FigJam
  3. Note: the font has to be active in your system Fonts / Font manager.

    Enjoy :-)

I tried this out, the issue is, only the pasted text has that font applied to it. I can’t use that font on FigJam tables and things native to FigJam.

That’s not my experience. Be sure to hit T or create a fresh text box before pasting from Figma.

Here’s what I got with three random fonts and a fig jam table:

@Babak_Farkhoopak, as a workaround, you can use my plugin—Change Font.
