If font weight variables aren’t working in Figma, try these quick fixes:

  1. Check Font Compatibility: Ensure the font supports the weight you’re trying to use.
  2. Use Correct Font Weight: Double-check that the weight you’re adjusting is available.
  3. Refresh Figma: Reload the app to clear any font caching issues.
  4. Update Figma: Make sure you’re using the latest version of Figma.
  5. Reinstall Custom Fonts: If using custom fonts, reinstall them or switch to system fonts.
