Hello Figma community, I'm a type designer and I've encountered a workflow issue that affects font development in Figma. When I reinstall an updated font file (for example, after adjusting spacing, adding new glyphs, or making other modifications), Figma doesn't automatically display the updated version in existing text layers. Current behavior: The font updates only become visible after clicking on each text box individually. Expected behavior: Font updates should be reflected immediately across all text layers using that font family. This creates an inefficient workflow during the iterative design process, as I need to manually interact with every text element to see the changes. For projects with multiple text layers, this becomes quite time-consuming. Has anyone else experienced this issue? Is there a workaround I'm missing, or could this be considered for a future update? Thanks for any insights or solutions you might have!
Inputs are one of the most common UI design elements out there. But when you have to use them in a prototype there isn’t a good way to show what they look like when entering text. It’d also be great if we could trigger validation events like on a password input for example. This would bring more fidelity to my prototypes than just about anything.
I’m the admin of my workspace with the Professional plan, and I have a collab seat. How can I share a draft with viewing rights with my client, without having to upgrade to a full seat? Whenever I click the share button, I see the dialogue that I’m about to upgrade to a full seat. I even already upgraded by accident, which was annoying as it incurred extra cost for something I don’t need). On the free plan I’m able to share drafts without problem. Why isn’t that possible on the Professional plan? Here’s a screenshot of the dialogue that I get whenever I click the share button. Would really appreciate some help with this, as it’s stated in the docs, that sharing designs with viewing rights should definitely be possible without upgrading the seat.
It would be great if you could add the option to align multiple objects to a key object (like in Adobe Illustrator). You can see more here: Select & Align to Key Object | Illustrator Tutorial If anyone else wants this or has other alignment suggestions please upvote this topic and comment.
Selected container has decimal width because of Auto Layout Grid I’ve applied the Auto Layout Grid mode to the parent layer of the selected container. That container is set to fill to be adjusted with the grid applied. It should be snapped to pixel as the Layout Guide is snapped to pixel while it is not. I’m setting up grid system for a design system and this is super important because the content within the selected container will always remain in decimals if this isn’t snapped to a pixel. Is there anything that I’m missing or doing wrong?
Hello people! There are 2 things happening on my prototype window with Chrome. As you can see there’s now black margins at the sides of the prototype, before that, it looked like a normal site, like full size of the screen, of course I explored the setting button up right, nothing did, I don’t know maybe some colleague of mine touched some option that he shouldn’t. And the other thing is the dark bottom nav bar to go throught “frame” by “frame” now it’s gone, keyboard doesnt work, neither can’t remember if I changed something, really dont know and wanna fix all this. Any help please?
I used to work for a company that provided me with a Figma account, but that's no longer the case. I have a free account I have been using, but I’ve reached my maximum number of pages and need to upgrade to continue. Unfortunately, when I try to upgrade my ‘team’ to the professional account it somehow brings in both my current gmail based account and the deprecated old account through my previous company. I have no idea how it even knows about that account, it’s not linked anywhere in my team, and I’m not signing in with it. For obvious reasons I don’t want to pay twice as much for a shut down account attached to an email address I can’t access, but since this user doesnt actually exist on my team I can’t remove them. This screen certainly doesn’t give any UI for that. I tried contacting support, but since I’m on a free version I can’t (which is an enraging interaction).
I’m working on a Figma site and noticed an issue where the font appears differently in preview or published mode. For example, I’m using SF Pro Bold in my design, but it renders as SF Pro Regular when previewed or published. Is this a known issue with Figma Sites? Are there any recommended or “safe” fonts to use that retain their styling accurately in preview mode? Would love any insight or workaround if this is a bug. Thanks! Preview Design
To add an out animation for an object in Figma slides, I have to create a new slide. Plus, let me trigger the object animation after I change my slide. I don’t want to double-click if I have both a slide transition and an object animation.
Hi, I duplicated 2 files, a library and a design file. The new design file is obviously still attached to the previous library. I want to attach it to the new library. Everything is still exactly the same. I open the library panel in the new design file, add the new library to the file and detach the old one, then I click on “swap library” in order to replace components and styles in the file, but I get this error ID: ba6fb6fe90044b46a5917a85bf89e636. Did this happen to anyone else? If yes anyone found a solution? How am I supposed to swap my libraries if this doesn’t work, I tried more than 20 times over the week end.
Hello! I’m trying to have these over flow frames scrolling horizontally within a set boundaries, however it seems to scroll into the full page. I wanted to know what I should do to make sure that the scrolling only stays in the red lined boundaries? The scroll behavior for the scrolling frame is position: scroll with parent ; overflow: horizontal. The individual frames inside that are scrolling has scroll behavior position: scroll with parent Thank you!
Is it possible to change the units on the ruler without a plugin? If so would love to learn how! Trying to make a research poster on Figma, and finding it difficult to confirm that the scale is correct in inches.
I'd like to suggest being able to select different colours for different measurements, for instance blue for 8px, pink for 16 px, so on and so forth. It's easier to standardize my designs, and to help people quickly get the different paddings and margins. Thank you 🙂
I want to have an object increase in size. I also want it to move. I have one component that describes the change in size, and another component describing its movement. The latter is an empty frame, which I (intended to) put an instance of the former object inside. I have tried eight hundred and fifty three thousand ways to get this to work, but it appears to be literally impossible. I’ve tried it with components inside each other, instances inside of instances, components inside of instances inside of objects inside of instances being triggered by variables that are themselves triggered by componenets of instances within an instance’s compnent’s variable’s object’s variable’s instance’s instance. None of it works. Nothing. “Just make it one componenent” - I don’t want the movement and the change in size to have the same animation. I need them to follow different beziers. And a bonus round - I’m now stuck on simply trying to make a button that triggers an animation. I literally just w
