Font changing spacing bug

I was using DM Sans on a layout on the past few days and it seemed to be going fine till then, but while working with the same layout today, i noticed that the font spacing has changed. Notice the comparison between the font on my layout and the layout in the Google Fonts website. As of right now i’m having to manually adjust the font spacing to -2%. Anyone who knows what’s happening?

Hi there,

Thanks for reaching out. Could you let me know if this issue is happening with a specific file or across multiple files?

If it’s occurring with just one file, could you try using the “Recompute text layout in selection” option? You can access this through the Actions menu. You can also open the actions menu by pressing Command K on macOS or Control K on Windows.

Additionally, could you try the following troubleshooting steps?

  • Close any Figma tabs you’re not actively using.
  • If you’re using a browser, force-quit and reopen Figma in a new browser window.
  • If you’re using the Desktop App, force-quit the app and restart it. If the issue persists, try clearing the cache.

If the problem is occurring across multiple projects, it might be an unexpected issue. Please consider submitting a bug report with details on how the issue occurred. You can do so by following this link: Submit a bug report.

Let me know if you need any more help!

Thanks,
Toku
