I recommend downloading and installing the Figma font installer even if you’re not using Figma Web or locally installed fonts because it’s easy to forget about this little requirement and run into the problem later. The problem pops up in this scenario because Figma Web doesn’t have access to your locally installed fonts out of the box (only Google Web Fonts) however, the Figma font installer solves this problem, so go ahead and install it. If you’re missing fonts when using Figma Web and locally installed fonts, it’s probably because you don’t have the relevant Figma font installer for your operating system installed. If you’re reading this article, the most likely scenario is that you do have the font installed and it’s just not working (argh), so let’s dive into that. You probably didn’t need me to explain any of that though. If you happen to dismiss the Missing fonts modal, the yellow A? icon on the right side of the horizontal toolbar will reveal it again: If you don’t actually want the font (perhaps it’s a downloaded file that you plan to customize anyway), simply choose a replacement font and font weight from the modal before clicking on the Replace fonts button. If you’ve forgotten to install the font (it happens), ignore the Missing fonts warning modal that pops up, quit Figma, install the font, then reopen Figma. Just to confirm: You did install the font…right? So in this article, I’ll go over the different reasons why you could be encountering Figma’s missing fonts problem and explain what you can do to fix it. This problem can manifest as a “missing fonts” warning that pops up upon opening a file, or as fonts not appearing in the font picker. However, it does have a problem with fonts being missing (more so than other design tools). According to the 2023 Design Tools Survey, Figma is the most used tool for UI design, basic prototyping, advanced prototyping, and design systems.
