I believe that bringing Figma-designed components into FigJam for board work is a key feature that ensures fluidity between Figma and FigJam. This is undoubtedly a competitive and unique feature of FigJam compared to other whiteboard-based programs.
However, while using Figma components in FigJam on a PC is generally smooth, issues arise when opening FigJam files with these components on an iPad:
- When moving the entire FigJam content or creating sections on the iPad, the fonts of the components get corrupted.
- Not only do the fonts get corrupted, but occasionally Auto Layout arrangements also break.
- The issue affects not just one component but all components within the FigJam file, including thumbnails.
This is not a one-off bug; I have already reached out to the support team about it, but was informed that it is considered a limitation of the current feature. I was also told that posting on the forum might make the development team aware of the issue.
I believe that utilizing components is crucial for the integration between FigJam and Figma. This is a significant differentiator and advantage of FigJam over competitors. It would be great if this issue could be resolved.
Additionally, I would appreciate it if the font limitations in FigJam could be lifted as well, as there is much room for improvement in this area.
