Local fonts are suddenly ignored

[Noi]

I’ve been running into the same issue as this below:

Local fonts completely neglected, all of sudden

I recently upgraded my figma desktop. It suddenly showed “missing fonts” window to every component i used any local font. I reboot, reinstalled all the figma desktop and local font files. This is happening in the Windows dekstop and my Macbook at the same time. I also changed the type of the font file(ttf, otf etc.) but it didn’t change anything. [image] Does anyone have similar issue? Other teammates are also suffering the same…

On Mac( Apple Silicon OS 14.4 ) w/ Figma 116.17.11

I tried every solution that mentioned in the topic above.
All other apps like Adobe recognize the fonts the same as before.
also I have not changed anything like machine settings or so. One thing that changed recently is just the Figma update.

It’s been blocking my work and making me insane!
does anyone have a solution?

Figma on my sub-machine ( MacBook, Intel OS 14.4 ) was still ver 116.16.13, and it worked properly

Try reinstalling the Figma Font Helper app Figma Downloads | Web Design App for Desktops & Mobile

Thank you but I assume it does not help for the desktop app…

[Gleb]

Your assumption is incorrect

[Noi]

Okay, thank you for that. is it incorrect as well?

Add a font to Figma design

So did you try installing it or not?

It says “not required” but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t try. It might help if the font installer that comes with the desktop app by default malfunctions.

Yes I tried but did not work.

Same problem. Every solution from this thread tested. Fonts are installed via FontBook and show up inside Adobe Apps but neither in Figma Desktop (Macos) nor on Figma browser.

Same issus here. I reinstalled everything and it keeps on happening. Both on Window and Mac

Hey All, sorry to hear you’re having trouble accessing your local fonts!

Since the fonts you’re trying to access are already installed on your computer, you’ll want to follow the instructions to Access local fonts on your computer.

If you’ve followed these instructions and are seeing the notification that Local Fonts are enabled in your Figma account settings, can you try going to Font Book and click the fonts that you would like to install then right-click to show the menu below?

From the menu, click “Validate Font” to see if this resolves. You can see more details in Apple’s Font Book User Guide below:

Install and validate fonts in Font Book on Mac

I “solved” by disabling the fonts, then opening Figma, then enabling the fonts again (FontBook) a few times and it finally worked… for no understandable reason. It’s not the first time it happens for me

I have exactly the same issue on a Windows app this very moment
