How to Use Local Fonts in Figma on Windows?

Incorporating local fonts into your Figma designs can add a unique touch and elevate your creative process. In this article, we will explore the world of local fonts and show you how to use them in Figma on your Windows device.

To get started, begin by downloading the font you wish to import into Figma. Once downloaded, follow these steps:

1. Open Figma and create a new project or open an existing one.

2. Click on the 'Text' tool in the toolbar at the top of the screen.

3. Select the text layer that you want to apply the local font to.

4. Right-click on the text layer and select 'Font Family' from the dropdown menu.

5. In the Font Family window, click on the 'Local Fonts' tab.

6. Browse to the location where your downloaded font is saved and select it.

7. Click 'Apply' to apply the local font to the selected text layer.

That's it! You have now successfully added a local font to your Figma design. You can repeat this process for each text layer in your project, allowing you to use different fonts throughout your design.

Using Local Fonts in Figma on Mac and Browsers

---------------------------------------------

In addition to using local fonts in Figma on Windows, you can also use them on Mac and in the browser version of Figma. The process is similar to what we covered above:

* On Mac: Follow the same steps as above, but instead of browsing to the location where your downloaded font is saved, select it from the Font Book app.

* In Browsers: Unfortunately, users of Chromebooks and Linux can only use Google's Web Fonts at this time.

3. Select the 'Local Fonts' tab.

4. Browse to the location where your downloaded font is saved and select it.
