Question

Developers seeing different font weight in Inspect panel than designers with editor access


Brooke_Corcos

Hi there! We ran into an issue where designers with editor access see one font weight in the inspect panel, but developers selecting the same text layer see a different font weight in the inspect panel. Any ideas regarding how or why this is happening, and which is correct?

Screenshots below (had to redact some info):

Developer view:

Editor view:

Thank you in advance for your help!

Does anyone also still have this issue? Because we do.


Amber_McLain

Yes it is occurring in our view as well. In a font we are using, our designers see 700 weight but in dev view it shows 600.


Carla_Januska

Hi, yes we see something similar.

I think it has to do with the font naming differences between font files for desktop (.otf) and server-side font files (.woff). Why font companies don’t reconcile all the weights with names is a mystery.


Angie_Meeker

Same here.

I am seeing this issue as well with most typefaces

@Celine_Figma Hi there! I’m the original poster, and we have been having the issue with Tempo Std. Is this a bug that the team is aware of or should I submit a request?
