Question

FontBase & Figma


Nellya

Figma doesn’t show activated in FontBase fonts on Windows 11. It worked perfectly on Windows 10 before. Does anyone know how to fix it?

I tried to change root folder to C:/FontBase, but it didn’t help.

stuck with the same problem. fonts work everywhere except Figma. they used to work fine before I restarted my PC.

things I’ve tried:

  • installing fonts w/out fontbase => works
  • installing fontbase as admin => doesn’t work
  • installing Figma as admin => doesn’t work
  • setting root to C: in fontbase => doesn’t work

and yes,
*installed Figma font helper => doesn’t work

getting the same results in both browser and desktop app

I have the same problem, and I’ve seen many reports of this problem.

I contacted support and got a reply that Figma, currently, don’t have official support for external font managers, including FontBase.

I could accept that, but somehow it worked perfectly on windows 10.

That’s unfortunate, and a surprising decision. Thanks for your answer.
