Figma - Typography
You tried to apply a Google Font in Figma but the text still shows the default font. What is the most likely cause?
AThe font size was set to zero
BGoogle Fonts are not supported in Figma
CYou typed the font name incorrectly in the dropdown
DYou forgot to restart Figma after selecting the font
Step-by-Step Solution
Solution:

  1. Step 1: Check font selection process

    If the font name is typed incorrectly, Figma cannot apply the intended Google Font and defaults to system font.

  2. Step 2: Verify other causes

    Google Fonts are supported without restart; font size zero would hide text but not cause default font.

  3. Final Answer:

    You typed the font name incorrectly in the dropdown -> Option C

  4. Quick Check:

    Incorrect font name causes default font [OK]
Quick Trick: Check spelling of font name in dropdown [OK]
Common Mistakes:
MISTAKES
  • Believing Google Fonts need restart
