Support response in case anyone else stumbles upon this. Thread could be merged/referenced with variable font thread
This is currently intended behavior/feature limitation; the font specifically named “SF Pro” is the variable weight font of the SF Pro family, and Figma does not support variable weight fonts at this time. That being said, the following fonts “SF Pro Display/Text/Round” are the static weights and are supported in Figma.
In any case, variable fonts is a feature we intend to build out support for, though I don’t have an ETA for its release. I’m happy to add your +1 to the ongoing project for some extra visibility.
