  1. Describe the problem your experiencing and how your idea helps solve this
    I got a few reports that text function works weirdly when typing Korean these days. (the video below was taken a week ago, and I still have the same issue)
    it gets better after rebooting Figma completely, but it is not the best solution.

Korean people are having the same issue these days, here’s a reference from Korean community;

facebook.com
  1. Add as much context as possible (screenshots, Figma files, mockups, etc.)

  2. Ask questions to bring the community into the conversation
    (e.g. Does anyone else experience this? Is anyone using a plugin or workaround to help solve this?, etc.

Is there any way I can solve this problem as a user? Or is Figma team already working on this bug? Thanks in advance 🙂

When using Korean fonts, there are times when consonants and vowels are separated or two letters are written! It’s very uncomfortable. It’s probably a problem that all Korean users experience:(
When can these problems be improved?

When typing in Hangul, the letter breaks into each alphabets (second line).
I think there is a bug in Font Agent for Figma. It is critical for users who’re using Korean. Waiting your quick responses.

+ I’m currently using MacOS Big Sur, Latest version of Figma.

This definitely is a bug and I would encourage you all to report it to Figma support team via the bug report form. They don’t often check the forum.

which font are you using? Does the same issue occur when you’re using Inter font?
