Using figma plugins on linux (linux mint)

Currently there is an issue with loading system fonts. Thus if you want to use custom fonts you may encounter difficulties.

There a few workarounds that for that. The only one that worked for me:

  1. Download chrome
  2. Install GitHub - neetly/figma-agent-linux: Figma Agent for Linux (a.k.a. Font Helper)
  3. Reboot
  4. Open the terminal and paste:
USER_AGENT="Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/120.0.0.0 Safari/537.3"
google-chrome-stable --user-agent="${USER_AGENT}" https://www.figma.com/files/recent
