I have set up a range of text styles for my project, but all of a sudden the character spacing/kerning is totally different. When I detach the text style, it looks correct (without changing any settings), but when re-applying the style the problem occurs again.

Hi @Michael_Nilsson, Thanks for reaching out about this. I understand your feeling that comes from something no longer functioning as it did before.

I’ve tested over a text style on my side, and the text properties and the text layer seem to work as expected, even after I’ve attached and detached styles multiple times.

Could you try the following quick action to see if it resolves the issue?
Here’s what you need to do:

  1. Select all text layers in a page
  2. The top left Figma icon > Quick Actions > Recompute Text Layout in Selection

​​In case that does not solve the issue, I recommend contacting our support team at this link: https://help.figma.com/hc/en-us/requests/new
When you contact our support team, please provide the following:

  1. Use your Figma account’s email address.
  2. A brief video recording or screenshots showing the issue, including the entire window with the Properties and Layers Panel visible, and the relevant layers expanded.
  3. Share the design file and any related library links, and please add support-share@figma.com as an Editor to those files (this won’t impact your billing).
  4. Let our support team know what troubleshooting steps you’ve already tried.

I hope these steps prove helpful! Let us know if I overlook anything.
Also, if anyone from our community has any additional insights or suggestions, feel free to share them here.
