Even though there are many font choices in Figma, sometimes you want to use another font that is more suitable for the design you are creating now. Therefore, you should know several ways how to add fonts to Figma on Windows and MacOS devices, as well as browser apps.
To help you add the font combination Figma, we have prepared tutorials for each version of Figma app through this article. Check it out!
To make it easier for you to add fonts to Figma according to the operating system you are using, please see the steps below:
If you are using the Figma version of the application on a Windows-based laptop or PC, the steps you must take are:
First, you must download the font you want because it’s unavailable in the Figma download. There are many places to download fonts available on the internet.
However, if you want to use it for commercial purposes, make sure to buy it through a trusted font-specific site so you don’t encounter problems later.
Of the many font providers, you can buy them at Lettermine Studio. There are many fonts to pick from.
For example, if you want to buy the Regano Qingsta font, select the font, determine the license option, and make payment so the download or purchase process can be carried out.
After the download process is successful, here are steps you can take:
To install the font, here are the steps:
To check this, you can restart Figma first. You can check via Control Panel – Appearance and Personalization. On the Figma Font menu, double-click. Later, you can see the font, and it is ready to be used freely.
Meanwhile, for MacOS operating system users, please follow the guide below:
Just like on Windows, please download or buy the font you want first to save it on the device.
If you have installed it, your chosen font will automatically be saved on your device. The font will be saved in the Font Book App application on the device. Meanwhile, you can see the font in the Figma font picker. If you still don’t see it, try restarting the app.
For Figma browser users, don’t worry because you can also freely add your favorite fonts in this browser. However, to be able to use it, you have to install the Figma font service first.
The way to successfully install fonts into the Figma browser is as follows:
Check Download on the device and click on the font installer file to complete the installation process. Wait until the installation is complete and the application is installed.
Reopen your Figma Browser and click refresh if it has been successfully installed. After a successful refresh, all your fonts on the device will automatically be read into your account.
If you don’t have fonts on your device, please follow the instructions on downloading and installing fonts as in the previous Windows and MacOS device tutorial.
Even though the method above is relatively easy and quick to follow, sometimes several problems occur when installing fonts into Figma. Therefore, you can follow some of the suggestions below:
If the font is not showing in Font Picker, check the storage folder again if the menu still doesn’t provide the font you installed previously.
For Windows users, ensure the font is saved in the C:\Windows\Fonts folder. Meanwhile, MacOS users should make sure the font is in /Library/Fonts.
If it is not stored there, then the problems above often occur. So, please place the font according to its location.
Variable fonts are font types with several styles, such as light, bold, italic, and others. Because variable font files are still not supported by Figma, you should delete the file with the variable name in the font folder.
After that, replace it with a static font for later use in apps or browsers.
Sometimes, when viewing people’s files or collaboration, you will see a yellow icon with an “A” and a question mark. It means that the version of the font in the file is different from yours or the editor used a different font.
To solve this, here are what you can do:
After learning how to add fonts to Figma above, you can immediately hunt for fonts that match your design. For more choices, check and order at Lettermine. There are many choices, but Lettermine also offers many attractive offers. Order now!
