[Text]-Text tool changes font when leaving edit mode in XD.

[adobeUser2020]

The font changed to a weird .Applesomething font name and then the text looks the same once you leave the editing mode. Might be separate issues. Anyone else experienced this? XD 27.1.12.4

Hi there,

That's sounds strange we haven't heard anyone else experiencing the similar issue. Could you please share a short video of the workflow or the screenshot for better understanding? Is it happening with a specific font or all the files? 

We will try our best to help.

Thanks,

Harshika

I have the same issue. I'm using Kollektif font for a text field and while I'm inside the field, editing it, it shows some other font. It's abnouxiously annoying, because everytime I exit the field, the whole text changes its placement. Any fixes?

[HARSHIKA_VERMA]

Hi there,

I am sorry to hear you are facing trouble with font getting everytime you stops editing in XD. I would like to know a few more details to investigate about the issue.

• Would you mind sharing a short video of your workflow?
• Is it happening with all the files or with a specific file?
• Please share the screenshot of your about XD info page.

We will try our best to help.

Thanks,

Harshika

This is happening for me on PC as well. The font displays correctly when unselected. When clicking into the type to edit, the font changes to something different with different spacing as well. This is frustrating as I must click out of editing to see the final display.

Hi GR Michael,

I am sorry for the frustration. Is it possible for you to share the above asked information so that we can escalate this to our team for investigation?

We will try our best to help.

Thanks,

Hi Michael,

Thanks for sharing the video. I see that the font name or property doesn't change in the right side property pane. Is it possible for you to share the file as well with me so that I can check at my end? Please share the OS and XD version of your machine.

I will try my best to help.

Thanks,

I am experiencing the same thing...when I would click to edit text, it would change to a sans serif font but when I clicked off of it, it changes back. I found that I had to activate the fonts directly on my computer (I use a font management program) if I had XD open I'd have to restart XD and it fixes the issue. I'm on a PC - Windows 10 - XD version 41.1.12.9

Same here!

I found out this is font related. I just tried to make a video about it and test it with common fonts like Verdana and Calibri and this is not happening with those fonts.

Hi Rangel,

Thanks for reaching out and sharing your findings. This generally happens when the actual fonts are being replaced by the system fonts and this happens with specific fonts with different font-weight. We can surely test this on our end, for that, we'll need the details about the version of XD and the Operating System along with details.

Regards

2022, still the same bug... :)))

[philipd24046929]

Same, I was hitting this bug and came here. I'm disappointed this was discovered two years ago and it hasn't been fixed. Restarting my computer seemed to fix it, at least temporarily.

[ClareB123456789]

2023 and it's still there 🙃

[lukaspodmelle]

Yeah, I switched to Figma in the meantime 🤷‍:male_sign:

[plezerm]

I have the same problem, Any update and idea how can I do something to the good result?

[zent.ai]

I have the same problem but it only does this with adobe fonts. Very confusing! Fortunately, I can still use Arial 😞 2023...
