Doesnt load fonts
Hey, I get a 500 Internal Server Error when Figma tries to load fonts. Am I doing something wrong?
Try the solution in #30 :
curl -L https://raw.githubusercontent.com/louispotok/figma-linux-font-helper/master/res/install.sh | bash
Try the solution in #30 :
curl -L https://raw.githubusercontent.com/louispotok/figma-linux-font-helper/master/res/install.sh | bash
I still get the same error, no matter what fonts I try.
Same. Ubuntu 22.04
No help with this?

The solution is in one of the other threads, can't recall which. I went back to Mac after all, so can't help.
@skyyy777 you might want to look into this other similar project https://github.com/Figma-Linux/figma-linux-font-helper/issues/14#issuecomment-1148101345

Unfortunately I don't have any great ideas. I would try deleting all the files and services associated with the previous installation. I believe (on my machine) these are the locations to delete
rm -rf /opt/FontHelper
rm -rf /etc/figma-linux
rm /usr/lib/systemd/system/fonthelper-updater.service
rm /usr/lib/systemd/system/fonthelper.service
Then try installing fresh:
curl -L https://raw.githubusercontent.com/louispotok/figma-linux-font-helper/master/res/install.sh | bash

💯️ It tottally works man !!!
Figma should support this project. Thanks so much for such a usefull work.
I just "uninstall" and install fresh as described avobe, added my $HOME
.fonts
to the fonthelper
config, restarted, and boom i was having my locals back to my Figma game.
When i hit http://localhost:18412/figma/font-file?file=/home/me/.local/share/fonts/Satoshi-BlackItalic.otf&freetype_minimun_api_version=20
the font file gets downloaded properly.

Thanks, It works.
A few notes on how to make it work:
Avoid directory paths containing $HOME
or ~
in your /etc/figma-linux/fonthelper
config file. For example:
{
"port": "18412",
"directories": [
"/usr/share/fonts",
"/home/<USERNAME>/.local/share/fonts"
]
}
The install script fetches the latest release, which is at the time of writing over 2 years old. But you can easily build the project by your self locally. Rust + toolchain required.
Just clone the repo, build the release version with cargo
, replace the binary and finally restart the systemd service:
git clone [email protected]:Figma-Linux/figma-linux-font-helper.git
cd figma-linux-font-helper
cargo build -r
mv target/release/font_helper /opt/FontHelper/fonthelper
systemctl restart fonthelper.service
To make the install script work out-of-the-box, a new release needs to made.
Had the same issue, the steps above fxed it.

Copy installed fonts into /usr/share/fonts/opentype and /usr/share/fonts/truetype then restart service and reload figma - worked for me
made things work, thanks! ❤️
