Unable to edit text after importing Fluent 2 with missing font

I’m designing against the Fluent 2 component library which uses Segoe UI as the base font. It’s a very full featured library and has many variables. The base font is defined in a variable group “Topography”, then “Font-family”, then “Base”.

If you don’t change this variable, all text in the entire file is rendered uneditable and I fought the good fight for a combined five hours. There was no error here and it seemed that even trying to change the variable would fail.

It *seems* that logging out and back in again has fixed it (I also upgraded my account between logins) but this was immensely frustrating during the three sessions I spent trying to make it work.

Is someone able to replicate this? Can it be fixed or at least an error message presented to prompt how to fix it? At first I thought I had to upgrade from Professional ($15/mo) to Enterprise ($75/mo) because of some errors while importing the component library.

As a very new user, this was a pretty sour experience.

The only thing I did was log out, then log back in again. I had also upgraded my plan from free to the $15/m tier.

> To log out of Figma, click your profile icon (top left), then select "Log out" from the dropdown menu.

I expect this is a bug of some kind.
