![]() So just to quickly rattle them off, we've got serif fonts, sans serif fonts, slab serif fonts, semi-serif, script, and monospace. Now, Google Fonts are automatically available for you inside Figma, whether you're using a desktop version or an online version.Īnd in each of these examples, the first four of the fonts that you're seeing on the screen here come from Google Fonts. However, if you want to use local fonts, fonts that you have installed on your machine inside Figma, there are two ways. You can either go via the desktop application for your operating system. If you're using the desktop editor on either Windows or Mac, then it will just automatically pick up your local fonts. There isn't actually an official Linux version of the Figma desktop application, but there is an unofficial version which is built on Electron. It's also free and open source, and I will link to that in the notes below this video if you are working on Linux. This will also pick up your local fonts automatically, but in my experience so far, it will only pick up fonts that are inside your user share fonts TTF folder. So you might just need to take some manual steps to make sure that your fonts are inside that folder, and then you'll be all good on Linux as well. If you're using the online version of Figma, then you can still use local fonts as well, but you're gonna need to install the Figma Font Helper. Now, this one is only available for Mac and Windows. And I'll provide a link in the notes below this video to the instructions on how you can get that local font enabler set up on your system. Okay, now with that bit of housekeeping out of the way, back to the fonts. In a lot of lessons in this course, we're actually going to be building on top of topics that we've previously covered already on Tuts+. And in the case of this lesson, we're building on this excellent article titled, A Comprehensive Guide To Typography Basics.
