How are Paste fonts loaded in Figma? #3575
-
|
We have a customer trying to design for their upgrade to Flex 2.x from 1.x. They already have access to the Twilio Paste Components library in Figma, but they are having trouble accessing the fonts on Figma - it says here that "Fonts in Paste are preloaded into Figma so you don't need to download or install any font files." but as you can see in this screenshot provided by their lead designer, the fonts don't seem to be there for them. Is there anything they should do in order to load the fonts in Figma? I assume that their developers would have access to the fonts via the Paste npm package.
