how to add fonts to figma
braza walks you through the font installer + restart sequence so your custom font finally shows in the list.
your custom font won't appear in figma's font menu until two things are true: the font is installed on your computer, and figma's font installer (or the desktop app) can see it. browser figma especially trips people up here. this is the exact sequence that fixes it.
or do it yourself
- 1install the font file on your computer first (double-click the .ttf/.otf and click 'install').
- 2using figma in a browser? download the 'figma font installer' from figma's downloads page and keep it running in the background.
- 3using the desktop app? it reads installed fonts directly - just restart it.
- 4fully quit and reopen figma (browser tab or app) so it re-scans your fonts.
- 5open the font dropdown and search the name - it should now be there.

downloadcommon questions
why isn't my installed font showing in figma?
in the browser you need the figma font installer running; in either case fully restart figma so it re-scans your system fonts.
how do i fix 'missing font' on a file someone shared?
install that exact font on your machine (or click the missing-font banner to swap it for one you have), then reopen the file.
