1. **Use Default Fonts in Figma** – Figma already includes a wide range of **Google Fonts** that work without any setup.
2. **Install Figma Font Helper (for Local Fonts)** –
   
      - Go to figma.com/downloads.
      - Download and install the **Figma Font Helper** app on your computer.
3. **Restart Figma Desktop App** – If you're using the desktop app, restart it after installing Font Helper. If you're using the browser, make sure Font Helper is running in the background.
4. **Access Local Fonts** – Now when you select text in Figma, your **system-installed fonts** will also appear in the font dropdown list.
5. **Add New Fonts to Your System** –
   
      - Download fonts (like `.ttf` or `.otf`) from websites such as Google Fonts, DaFont, etc.
      - Install them on your operating system (right-click → install on Windows or double-click → install on Mac).
6. **Refresh Figma** – Restart Figma or refresh your browser tab to make sure new fonts load properly.
7. **Done** – Your new fonts are now available in Figma and ready to use in your designs.
