You can access and use Adobe fonts in both the browser and the Figma desktop app. There are a few things to keep in mind when using Adobe fonts in Figma:
- If you’re working in the same file with collaborators, they’ll need to install the same font and version of the font to their computer
- Some versions of Adobe apps require you use the fonts and applications on your computer on a regular basis in order to keep them working on desktop apps like Figma
- We recommend restarting your Adobe and Figma app, or reloading your browser tab, after installing new Adobe fonts
Add Adobe fonts to Figma Design
1. Download Adobe fonts to your computer
To access Adobe fonts in Figma Design, you’ll need to add them to your computer using Adobe Fonts. Follow Adobe’s steps to add fonts to your computer →
2. Access Adobe fonts in Figma Design
To access Adobe fonts using Figma in a supported browser, you need to install the Font installer before you can add use Adobe fonts in Figma Design files. If you're using the Figma desktop app, the font installer is already included in the app.
After installation, reload any open files in your browser to start using the font.
Note: The Figma font installer, FigmaAgent, runs an HTTP and HTTPS server on localhost. It only allows connections from figma.com and isn't exposed to the public internet.
You may see events related to the FigmaAgent in your console log or when monitoring activity on your computer. The loopback address for localhost resolves to 127.0.0.1.
You can always uninstall the font helper if you need to, but will lose access to local and Adobe fonts on your computer.
