If you are a Figma user, you have probably experienced trying to open a project only to find that some of the fonts are missing. This can be quite frustrating, especially when the project is important or urgent. Fortunately, there are some simple steps you can take to fix this problem and get your missing fonts back in Figma.
Check Font Settings
The first step is to check your font settings in Figma.
In the top-left corner of the Figma window, click on the ‘File’ menu and select ‘Preferences’. In this window, click on ‘Fonts’ and ensure that all of the fonts you need are checked in the list. If any of them are not checked, simply check them and save your settings. This should restore any missing fonts.
Reinstall Fonts
If checking your font settings does not fix your issue, then you may need to reinstall any missing fonts on your computer. To do this, open the ‘Fonts’ folder in Windows or Mac OS and delete any font files that appear to be missing from Figma.
Then go to a website such as Google Fonts or Adobe Fonts and download any missing fonts that you need. Once downloaded, copy these font files into the ‘Fonts’ folder on your computer.
Update Your Software
Finally, if neither of these solutions works then it may be necessary to update both Figma and your operating system. To update Figma simply open up the software and click on ‘Help’ in the top-right corner followed by ‘Check for Updates’. Similarly, to update your operating system go into settings or preferences depending on which OS you are using.
Conclusion:
These three simple steps should help you get all of your missing fonts back in Figma so that you can continue working on your projects without interruption. Remember to always check font settings first before reinstalling any fonts or updating software as this should usually fix any issues with missing fonts quickly and easily.
