- diggan 7y ago"Issues" might be a understatement. As the font-loading tool only supports windows and macOS, it's straight up impossible to have custom fonts in a official manner. Seems to be some 3rd party solutions for this though, but since local font-exposing tools/servers are frequently used in vulnerabilities (Adobe's font loading tool that now comes built-in in Windows [and possibly macOS?] is one example, was recently exploited), it's a bit scary to run them.
- tarjei 7y agoTHIS! I hate that Figma cannot support adding external webfonts when it is a webapp. This is the nr. 1 and only reason why I do not give them my money.
- oh_boy 7y agoYou can use the Figma Linux wrapper to solve that issue. I have thrown my MacBook in a corner since them. I'm fully designing and developing on Pop_OS since 3 months. https://github.com/Figma-Linux/figma-linux https://github.com/Figma-Linux/figma-linux
- Blaiz0r 7y agoIt's great that you can use it, but it's still quite buggy for a lot of users, for me I can't even load it without it crashing, there are issues logged in the github
