I have found a thread below which mentioned Google Khmer font missing, but it was closed and no response. That’s why post another new one clarify my needs to enhance Figma missing Khmer fonts.
I have some projects which are required to share the prototype in Khmer display to be reviewed by my clients. Somehow they can’t see the prototype properly due to a missing font error message.
I understand that Figma can support local fonts by installing a font helper, but not everyone will install that helper application for any reason. Anyway, a Figma article says that “By default, Figma includes Google fonts in Figma design files.” That’s why I prefer to change fonts in my projects to use Google fonts, but unluckily I can see only one “Khmer” font from the font list as below which is not usable:
Please help add other Khmer fonts from Google as below links to let other people view the prototype without any issue with Khmer fonts:
@Rotha – sorry if I misunderstood, but I went into the Noto Sans Khmer google font, downloaded it, and used the installer.
It seemed to install and work correctly without needing the use of the font helper.
Are you using the web browser version of Figma? If that’s the case, you would need to use the font installer (which I understand is not what you’d like to do, but is the solution). If you are using the desktop app, you should have no problem.
Are you unable to use the Figma desktop app? Just want to know if that isn’t an option for you.
In Figma desktop or web it is no any issue for any Khmer fonts in my computer, except the shared prototype to the end-client who doesn’t have Figma and Khmer font, and some cases I need to use Google fonts instead to prevent fonts missing to the client.
Similarly to the Thai fonts from Google font, I prefer Khmer fonts (Noto Sans and Noto Serif) available in Figma as well.
Got it - so, if I understand correctly, I think the best solution for the client issue is for them to download the font and install it on their computer. They shouldn’t need to download Figma, and they should be able to get the text.
I understand that your preferred workflow is to have it be standard in Google Fonts available readily within Figma. I’ll leave this topic open for others to +1
