How to handle Figma’s “missing fonts” warning
Blog post from LogRocket
Figma, a leading tool for UI design, faces issues with missing fonts more frequently than other design tools, often due to uninstalled fonts or conflicts with locally installed or organization-uploaded fonts. Users may encounter "missing fonts" warnings when opening files or notice fonts not appearing as expected, particularly when using Figma Web, which only accesses Google Web Fonts unless the Figma font installer is used. Collaborative projects may exacerbate these issues if team members have different font versions. Solutions include ensuring fonts are installed, using the Figma font installer, uploading correct font versions to Figma organizations, and managing Google and Adobe font installations correctly. Despite these challenges, Figma remains popular due to its robust features, and taking specific precautions can mitigate font-related problems.
