Figmas Fonts Missing? Here's a Step-by-Step Guide to Activate Them Using RightFont

When working with fonts in Figma, it can be frustrating when they're missing or not available for use. This issue is especially common when using the RightFont Chrome extension. However, with these simple steps, you'll be able to activate those missing fonts and get back to designing.

Check Your Automation Settings

The first step is to ensure that all the apps under RightFont are checked in your System Settings on your Mac. To do this, open the System Settings app, navigate to Privacy & Security, then select the Automation option. If you previously selected 'Don't Allow,' don't worry – fixing it is straightforward. Simply click the OK button to proceed when prompted.

Grant Permission for RightFont

Due to automation control restrictions introduced in macOS Mojave and later versions, you may need to grant permission for RightFont to control apps like Photoshop, Illustrator, QuarkXPress, and others. This integration allows for seamless font activation and ensures consistent font usage within your Figma designs.

Activate Missing Fonts Using RightFont's Chrome Extension

To activate missing fonts in Figma using RightFont's Chrome extension, follow these steps:

1. Install the RightFont for Figma extension from the Chrome Web Store.

2. Open a Figma file that contains text layers with missing fonts.

3. Click on the 'Activate All' button to activate the listed fonts.

4. A prompt will appear, asking you to open RightFont. Click on it to proceed.

Additional Tips and Tricks

* If the activated fonts don't load properly in your Figma file, try reloading the Figma browser tab.

* You can upload multiple font files at once using the RightFont extension.

* Only organization admins can upload fonts to the organization, but members of any team can access and use them.

* Any fonts you upload to the organization will be available to everyone.

Troubleshooting Tips

* If you encounter a missing font dialog in Figma, look for a new button called 'Activate in RightFont' at the bottom left of the dialog. Click on it to activate the font.

* Confirm that you have the necessary rights and licenses to use the font(s).

* If any text is using a font that you don't have access to, a missing font warning will appear in the file.

By following these simple steps, you'll be able to activate those missing fonts in Figma using RightFont's Chrome extension. Happy designing!
