Variable font in Figma

Does anyone have issues testing a variable font in Figma? It’s works fine in Drawbot, but in Figma the slider appears but when moving nothing changes and automatically switch to 0 when dragging.

Thanks

Does the font work in FontGoggles?

Figma & alike are not good tools for testing fonts in the first place (sure, in the end you also want them to work there, but you never know what bugs they currently have).

Yeah, it works perfectly fine in FontGoggles :confused:

On testing a variable font in Figma… Has anyone else seen this? The font is showing on the menu crunched like this…

Is that the origin master? Or is the “Regular” an instance? It seem to be a Figma bug.

No its’ not the origin master of the VF. It’s in the Regular weight.

Is the origin master a condensed, by any chance?

Yes!

I am afraid it takes the widths of the origin master and the shapes of the regular. That’s a bug in Figma.

they have responded to a couple of bug reports I’ve filed in the past, it’s worth a try
