Hi, Dylan (Figma CEO) here. You can use local fonts in Figma via a local daemon helper, our native app or by adding the font to a shared library on our Org Plan. (Assuming you have an appropriate license for the font.)

We're also hopeful browsers will expose an API for accessing a list of local fonts / font metrics with the user's permission. (It's a fingerprinting issue to expose this info without the user opting in which is why browsers haven't built something like this in past.) This is gaining traction on the Chrome team, which is really exciting! https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=535764...

Hey, thanks for replying. I'm aware of local fonts, but you first have to get them onto your system, which is additional friction. With CC I can just browse their catalog and enable or disable what I want.

Have you thought about integrations with popular (among typographers) services like Fontstand, or smaller ones like Fontown? This could be a gamer changer. I really want Figma to become a real alternative to Adobe, not only for UI stuff!
